[{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1485244809979","data":"With the current political climate, especially in the United States of America, Nineteen Eighty Four is as essential to reading as breathing or eating. To say that George Orwell was a seer, a man who could peer into the future and write his observations down, would be underestimating the genius of his work with 1984, but Orwell, a pen name of Eric Arthur Blair, had observed the Stalinist government of the time and written what would happen if this continued. I do not know if he ever expected the book to be such an influential and important piece of literature, it should serve as a warning sign to those who wish to allow too much government oversight into their lives, allow the government to lie to their faces and get away with 'alternative facts'. <\/p>In the book, the protagonist Winston Smith works for the ironically named 'Ministry of Truth', who's job is to fix the media's narrative to always be in favor of Big Brother, who is the leader of the totalitarian state of Oceania. The media is not allowed to report the truth, and must always report news in a way that can favor Big Brother, Oceania and their allies. In one of the most memorable parts of the book, a government official is in the middle of a huge rant against Eastasia in favor of their allies in Eurasia, when being told mid rant that the alliance had changed, and that they were now friends with Eastasia. The speaker then immediately starts ranting against Eurasia and speaking in favor of Eastasia, and the public ate it up. Questioning the government on why they changed their stance or calling them out on lies and fabrications would result in the citizen being taken to the, again ironically named, 'Ministry of Love' where they would be tortured until they agree with Big Brother's point of view. <\/p>The book is a statement in political fiction, and one of the greatest and most influential books ever written, inspiring hundreds of literary works and media, from anime, cartoons, movies to video games. It has served as a warning against totalitarian governments (a look at how North Korea functions today would tell you how accurate Orwell was in predicting the future through Nineteen Eighty Four), against hyper nationalism and blind patriotism. The book was written in 1940, and even today, it is relevant, which should tell you the depth of this book and the warnings it lays out in a form of a darkly humorous take on the lives of the people of Oceania. Orwell's lines are simple, to the point and illustrate how drab the lives of the people are through his writing, these are the people who dare not question their government and country lest they be dragged off to the 'Ministry of Love' and be tortured, and as such prefer being led like cattle, keeping their heads down and not speaking out. <\/p>\"War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength.\"<\/p>You can buy the book by clicking <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2kn1kvh\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>, and I strongly suggest sharing it with your friends and buying them a copy too. There's nothing like it, and the more people that heed this book's warning, the better. <\/p>"}]
