There is a reason why some works outlast others. One of them may be that they survived but the major reason is that they hit a chord. This one hits you all over.
I always wanted to read the Animal Farm first but this was never off the list. So, when I saw this one on the aisle, the immediate thought was "Yeah, why not!".
I read it fast as it was too absorbing, and somewhere it echoed the thoughts.
There is no Big Brother or is there. We may never know but the process of changing the past keeps on going. You may not be a part of it but that doesn't mean you're not affected by it.
These day when we see a lot of noise around fake news, changed names, unscrupulous officials/politicians you can easily hear yourself saying what Winston said. And the bigger problem is that the only thing you can do is to survive it. You can't fight the fight but you can survive the fighting. And one day when the truth is out there in full force, nobody will be able to alter or cover it.
They can never enter your head, you just have to give a closer look to keep your sanity, and stay strong in what you believe.
Alas, it never end there and you prepare yourself for the next wave. This is a cycle we're part of. It may change it's flavour but it can't change it's nature.
Peace
