Coincidentally, I found this title on my husband's dusty shelf and finished read it 2 days ago. It horrified me that what George Orwell told us in 1948 exactly materialised during the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Not only the distortion of facts and thinking, the described surveillance system has also been happening now in China and stretching into HK. What a chilling prediction! In fact, the book shortened its author's life as Orwell needed to meet its deadline for publication which worsened his health. He died soon after the book was released - another layer of sadness!
