The year 1984 has come and gone, but George Orwell's prophetic nightmarish vision in 1949 of the world we are becoming is timelier than ever. Still the great modern classic of "Negative Utopia." My daughter ask me to read this book. With her youthful outlook, I doubted that there would be impressionable insight--however, I was WRONG! This book may be a fictional work, however it now eerily similar to our evolving society of 2006, and even depicts where we will be with rising government involvement in our private lives and small liberties IF WE DO NOT WISE UP and take our civic duties and rights more seriously--less apathetically. It is a MUST READ!
