A book to read and remember

While being at home I managed to catch up with some reading...and I have to share some thought about the book 1984 by George Orwell. This book is incredible in the way it describes a fictional, but so real, totalitarian system.
The scary part is, besides what the books describes, the fact that this was not a fiction, but was inspired from reality, build on things that actually happened.
The fact that people were supervised on what they do on daily basis, that their freedom was allowed in certain boundaries, that neighbours and family betrayed each-other for the party, that intellectual were imprisoned and tortured for thinking, when we had to praise our leader and 'enjoy' what has been prepared for us in media as a tool for manipulation, and so on...and even more from the ones happened and we don't remember or even worse, from the ones that are still happening today...
