I’m glad I finally read this book. It was a bit of a depressing read because certain parts reminded me of our current political climate. But the concepts of doublethink, thoughtcrime, and so on are definitely food for thought. In the week or so since I finished reading it, I’ve found myself thinking about those concepts, in particular when I see an ad or something that says exactly the opposite of what it really is (the “Clear Skies Act” comes to mind right now).
