I have thought so much and now I am faced with existential dread. Definitely a must read. NEWSPEAK IS STILL BLOWING MY MIND AND FREAKING ME THE HELL OUT!!! Insanely insanely great world-building. Remember guys, totalitarianism is NOT COOL!!! Big Brother is not that guy pal! Ugh! I still have chills.
(its only down side is that the way women are talked about is icky sometimes, which for how well thought out this novel is is very disappointing)
