This is probably the most famous of a rash of book written in the mid twentieth century containing a very pessimistic view of the future. In this tale, Orwell conceives of a society in which the people are under constant control and surveillance by "big brother." The TVs in people's houses cease to be modes of entertainment and become propaganda machines for the state, a state which conjures up wars in order to keep the people in submission. The only way that one breaks out is to hide from the TVs and express themselves freely, which in this case, means sexually. This is another thinly veiled critique of communism, and while it is probably exaggerated, much of what 1984 predicts, I think, occurs in places like China.
Very funny, makes you laugh and feel good. I don't like glorifying some of the things that make America so unhealthy, but damn it, I couldn't help but laugh. Great summer read or when you are feeling down. The author uses her wit well.
