Book Report of 1984

1984 is one of the most important works of the first halve of the 20th century, it was a vision of George Orwell of what he thought the world was going to be as in the year1984 ( he had the vision in 1949).

I think bothsocieties are really closed and isolated, but in my own opinion, I think Orwell's society is long way worse than North Korea because even though liberty of expression was not take in to account in both...
