We all know the classic "big brother is watching you ...", and it has perhaps never been so true to the era of new technologies and a sometimes rather surreal world. This book is a must for two good reasons: the translation of the book is perfect and does well feel the author's ideas and the oppressive climate of the book, and more, which can be the key ideological quest of a man seeking simple pleasures of life in a dictatorship? Do not miss to read either the appendix at the end of the book, or is an explained grammar of Newspeak geniale invention of the author to go further into this idea of totalitarianism.
