My latest reading:

1984 by George Orwell: the world was divided into three superstates which were called different names but operated on the same principles. The story walks alongside Winston, an Outer Party member, who struggled to find the reality only to succumb to delusion in the end. The novel has a lot to say about the so-called revolutions that, historically, renewed the governing bodies, the consequences, the fate of the working people and the fragility of the human minds. Two plus two does not always make four. It's the tenet of doublethink. But more broadly, isn't it how we think anyway? If you have read Orwell's prose on the modern English language, you will like what he did with the Newspeak and the fantastic essay that follows the main story. There are more to discuss but I'll leave it to your interpretation.

Cheers
