George Orwell

1984

Elisabeth BAROTTO

I read this book back in high school—it got under my skin back then as this terrifying possibility that at the time felt like an alternate reality kind of hell.

I’ve come to realize more and more in my adult years that it was a true and founded warning. 

Orwell captured in vivid and disturbing detail what governments are capable of doing to complacent societies, and the ending is burned into my memory.
