1) I am yet to grasp how it was that Orwell wrote of this dystopic realism back in 1949. Almost prophetic in nature, the content he includes which entails detailed description of highly organized society, an oligarchic approach to political control and the technological advances which suprecedes that of the 80s is mind-blowing.

Winston, the protagonist, and his love relations with Julia have weaned my support and confidence. I wish them the best - whatever that may be.
