What did u guys get out of this book. I just started it again for the tenth time and I feel like I’ve lived it because of my delusions…
What do you guys think of this book? What insight did y gain? I like to read but don’t always get get the books I read 
Guy was totally wrong I mean 1984 happened and we still don’t have flying cars.
I feel like the book wasn’t just about predicting the near future but about how people behave under authority and group thinking…
About the real phenomenon of centering ideology around a common enemy… about alot more than the imagined state of the world he wrote about …
I have a flying camera now.
I wouldn’t recommend you reading it too much. It triggers you bro…
Bro … it triggers and comforts me… Idk why but it’s sometht about reading a about your experience of life …
I guess that’s a real problem tho …as far as my delusions
Yep - Got 1984 on Audible. On the que to read. Heard it can be quite triggering lol.
i always enjoyed it.
it has good imagery. scary when he is forced into the situation with the rat. beautiful though.
I compare my psychiatrist to O’ Brian, but really he is the Pierrepoint of the psychiatric world! 
Lord Jesus lol
I use to have a case worker I thought of like that lol
It’s a classic piece of literature but it’s probably pretty triggering for a lot of people with sz or other paranoia type issues.
It’s kinda creepy in a way how Orwell predicted the rise of the police state. Terms like “big brother” and “Orwellian” are thrown around in conversations and in the media from time to time.
I loved it. I read the whole book to my gf over a couple days a few years ago too haha.
Read it in highschool. Sort of harder english read than similar political fiction I found.
Any suggestions for other political fictions? I’m looking for a new book…tired of tv
too many
i havent read any in over ten years but if you search political fiction on google it will give like over hundred books
Animal farm is good. Also written by Orwell. It’s all political.
I love 1984. It’s one of my favorite books and I’ve owned multiple copies. It’s been about 10 years since I’ve read it. I like the characters, setting, and story. The main insight I gained is no matter what you can’t fully kill the human side of people. It takes constant maintained pressure and manipulation. Also how different aged people look at the world. Young people take certain things for granted cause it’s all they’ve known while at the same time see existing holes in the system. Like in real life.
It’s a great book and it’s about how people get crushed by society. Whether it’s too left, right or indifferent the individual is lost to the masses. It’s a good warning on fascism and it’s nuts now there’s people who may be of a certain ethnicity who want to tell others who are different about how to live their lives. If you value democracy and freedom you’d do well to ignore those who often say those are their tenets these days.
Honestly. The world hasn’t changed since the industrial revolution. Really rich. Really poor. It’s politic but if your somebody with a major mental illness who isn’t like 99% of the population you shouldn’t be told how to live your life or picked on because of it.
I still find Julia the sexiest character in English literature. Just likes the sex and even Winston sells her out in the end.
@signless and everyone else, this guy is really funny and has a lot of videos on YT. Here’s his rundown of 1984. 
Lol I will watch it
