Great book and it's one of two books the government reckons could "radicalise" you. 1984 and oddly, Lord of the Rings. True story.

If the Gov doesn't want you to read certain books then you should definitely read them.

Because it reveals their secret end goal, it's so relatable.

It is. I've read it for the first time many years ago and did so again a few months ago. It's more "factual" now than ever before. Almost scary yet eye opening.

I am going to read it multiple times. I got a sense that it is not a normal book, it is going to stay with me for a long time.

Yes it will. I also recommend reading his book Animal Farm.

As it should. 👍

1984 used to be required reading in many high school literature classes.

Has apparently been confused with a how-to manual and is therefore discouraged.

I understand what you're saying you are saying. There is a whole category of books dedicated to explaining '1984', I will start reading those after finishing this one.
