Finished listening: 1984 by George Orwell 📚 This book will stay with me for a long long time. Of course I was already familiar with the synopsis of the story and a lot of the terms used in it (newspeak, thought police) but the way Orwell lays out the hopeless situation of Winston is so chilling to listen to. How Orwell extrapolated the economic and societal situation after World War II and how he used his imagination to create a totalitarian world, even better than the ones we’re “used” to… I found so many parallels with our current society. I have a lot of loose thoughts to tie together on this book.
