Expect cool sci-fi

iirc they even broke into the home to read Winston's journal when he wasn't there, taking care to even replace the grain of sand he kept there

There are also the other citizens who are more or less conditioned to sniff out even the smallest act of misbehavior; especially the poor children who were mere vessels filled to the brim with state propaganda.

It's more about world building, and atmospheric writing, than actually being an accessible page turner. The setting is bleak, and thrives on being unyieldingly informative, his writing style is the same.

"Thot police XD". Hard to take this book serious with the thot police engraved in my mind.

I think I read somewhere that Asimov also read it, and also did not see much science fiction. Actually, he tore Orwell a new hole in terms of science fiction and creativity.

Yeah, and supposedly agents too (we do find out that one of the party members in Winston's department is an agent).

I went into this book not knowing anything about it and not having any expectations and couldn't put it down for days.

Great read. Ending made me teary eyed.

Alright now you should read We next.
