Overall I learned a good deal from this, but it was a bit more academic in nature than I was expecting and required a deeper knowledge of Orwell’s minor works than I had.

How do you write a book about 1984 and include stuff about Trump but literally no mention of Assange, Snowden, Wikileaks, or anything else?

With a resurgence in sales of the novel 1984, this book comes at a good time. I felt this book was on point but I found you would have needed to know more about George Orwell's other works besides Animal Farm. At points it was a bit more scholarly in nature than I would have liked but I thought it was very interesting to read how 1984 came into existence and circumstances that influenced the work. You don't get a glimpse into certain works very often and this was quite an interesting story.
