The best (and one of the original) takes on a dystopian future
Orwell's take on the dystopian future is by far one of the best I've ever read. Yes it's bleak and depressing, but this just reflects the future it's telling. Winston is an appealing yet flawed main character, but you still find yourself rooting for him. The story drags a little during the middle, but the ending more than makes up for this. The worrying thing is you can almost imagine our future ending up like this, even if Orwell got the year wrong!
