***SPOILER***
(just being polite in case anyone hasn't read it)

I first read this book when I was too young to fully appreciate the political content, but even then it was a damn good read. When the voice from the hidden telescreen tells Julia snd Winston, "You are the dead" it shocked me so profoundly I dropped the book.

Back in the 80s, everything seemed to be being abbreviated, or spelled in a simplistic way (Kwik-Fit for example). Of all the small details in the book, it was this that made me worry that the book was prophectic after all.
