    About this ebook

    April, 1984. Winston Smith, thinks a thought, starts a diary, and falls in love. But Big Brother is watching him, and the door to Room 101 can swing open in the blink of an eye. Its ideas have become our ideas, and Orwells fiction is often said to be our reality. The definitive book of the 20th century is re-examined in a radical new adaptation exploring why Orwells vision of the future is as relevant as ever.

    George Orwell

    Eric Arthur Blair (George Orwell) was born in 1903 in India where his father was a civil servant. After studying at Eton, he served with the Indian Imperial Police in Burma for several years which inspired his first novel, Burmese Days. After two years in Paris, he returned to England to work as a teacher and then in a bookshop. In 1936 he travelled to Spain to fight for the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War, where he was badly wounded. During the Second World War he worked for the BBC. A prolific journalist and essayist, Orwell wrote some of the most influential books in English literature, including the dystopian Nineteen Eighty-Four and his political allegory Animal Farm. He died from tuberculosis in 1950.

      A must read especially in these days ! Orwell really wrote this book as a warning.
    • 5/5
      This book has been in my top five since I first read it a decade ago. There are often times in life, situations I end up in or troubling social issues in the news that make me think of this book. As the world evolves, globalization brings us closer together. Technology has made our home a very small place but it also leads us increasingly into the age of surveillance. The only difference between Big Brother and our current reality is that we monitor ourselves willingly.
