About this ebook
1984 is a dystopian novel by English author George Orwell published in 1949. ?The novel is set in Airstrip One, a world of perpetual war, omnipresent government surveillance, and public manipulation. It is dictated by a political system named English Socialism under the control of the Inner Party, that persecutes individualism and independent thinking.
Many of its terms and concepts, such as Big Brother, doublethink, thoughtcrime, Newspeak, Room 101, telescreen, 2 + 2 = 5, and memory holes, have entered into common use since its publication. In 2005, the novel was chosen by TIME magazine as one of the 100 best English-language novels.

The book has no font size control, have to pinch zooming, however you cant flip page once you zoomed in unless you zoomed back. Very annoying experience. Try other edition and get the font control as usual. This "Enrich spot " edition is not user friendly.

A must read and a great book. It does require a certain amount of
perseverance throughout the first chapter or so, but it will become
gripping and hard to put down. This has a great plot and follows the life
of Winston in and around the city of Airstrip one (London) in a post-war
world. In this book, Orwell has influenced a large part of contemporary
English language and culture. Still very relevant nowadays.

awful version to read. tiny font and no control over zoom. waste of money. shame as it's a brilliant story but not worth the frustration in this mode.
