I'm glad this was the first book I've read after getting back into reading. I went in blind and got pleasantly surprised, especially by the final chapters. The concepts presented in the book gave me lots of stuff to reflect about, and I can see why this book is so highly regarded.
Also, I was speechless once I found out that Big Brother was named after this book's Big Brother. @_@
