4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting if somewhat dry., January 1, 2008
A book using 1984 to focus on totalitarianism in the 20th Century it has been broken down into three parts. The first part deals with the book and the author, Orwell, while the second part deals with many of the ideas within the book, like Big Brother, the virtue of the lie and totalitarianism. The last part deals with the future - is there anything beyond or after totalitarianism? Published in 1983 I don't think the writers foresaw many of the changes that were to happen, making for a very interesting read. While interesting it isn't really worth reading more than once, being somewhat dry. Get it used.
