One of my favorite books is George Orwell's 1984. Since I'm sure many of
you have read it, I'll try to keep my summary as brief as possible!
This novel, written in 1949, is about a dystopian future where the
government is everywhere and watches everything that its citizens do.
One of those citizens is Winston Smith, a man who works for (but
secretly hates) the government. Winston ends up falling in love with a
woman and the two of them have a rebellious affair, but they have to
deal with the consequences when the ever-watchful Big Brother finds out.
