I have never read such utter drivel in my life. Orwell has made up words, without proper definition, and the backstory simply makes no sense. London is continuously at war with one region or another, so what does the government do? they decide to turn the citizens of London into mindless automatons. How does that solve anything? And why didn't they just try and leave? It seems to Winston that the whole world revolves around his workplace.
It sucks that I have to study this book for Unit 4.
