1984 (the Book)

[Hauptmann Kauffman]

Who else has read this? What did you think of the ending? "He loved Big Brother"... An amazing book:yeah:

[Maverick]

Its a great book. Its definitely worth reading. Kinda scary at the same time.

[Hauptmann Kauffman]

Yea, I am now reading Zamyatin's "We", which was the inspiration for 1984:D

1984 is a book everyone should read. Its amazing how he was able to write about mass surveillance half a century before it started to happen. Fantastic book.

[ScotsGirl]

Agreed! :D

[Hauptmann Kauffman]

[Bobby]

No I haven't, but it sounds interesting - so maybe I'll check it out.

[Hauptmann Kauffman]

Yeah, check dat shit out yo:P

[Sugaree]

What's it about?

[Hauptmann Kauffman]

Its about a man who lives in a Superfascist state which is always in constant war with another. He lives in "London", and eventually takes on "Big Brother"

[The Resurrected One]

Very possibly that might be what started the Big Brother reality show series.

[Hauptmann Kauffman]

-_- -_- -_- Wow....:(

[The Resurrected One]

OK, about the book though, I haven't read it, but in last year my Socials teacher talked about it for a bit, and it did seem interesting.

Not sure if I'll get around to it or not though.

[Hauptmann Kauffman]

You do need to get around to it, its an amazing book:)

[theOperaGhost]

I was going to read it a couple of years ago, but the libraries copy was a piece of shit. Pages were falling out and shit, so I never got around to it. I still hope to read it someday.

[Hauptmann Kauffman]

Yea, I'd try a diff. library, it is definetly worth a search:D
