After about thirteen years I decided to give this a reread and realized I did forget a lot of it. It took longer to read due to the parallels between the state of the world and it's themes. I kept having to put it down for a few days. Most of the book is a simple read with only the last third becoming emotionally more difficult.
It's a disheartening book but I think it's something people should read regardless, at least once.
Thanks for reading!
When 1984 rolled around, Johnny Carson put a giant eye in the background of his set. I think it lasted a week before the network told him it was creeping people out and he had to remove it.
