Review of book
I am a great fan of anti-utopia books. One of my favorite books is 1984 by George Orwell. I am fairly sure that you will agree with me when I say 1984 has been very influintial.
I guess many people have read this book, at least they have heard about it. So who does not know the plot? The main character is Winston Smith who lives in London. He works in Departament of the Truth and he is a member of party. However, Winston have doubts of party and reality in general. Then he starts to keep a diary where he can write about his feelings and hesitations he has to cover up. But it is extremely dangerous, because dissent is strictly forbidden. In some time, Winston meets the girl who works with him. They fall in love. They hide their relationship beinf afraid of punishment. Later Winston makes a decision to raise a riot and make some changes. Winston and Julia seem utterly devastated because of the world they live. They gasp for freedom they try to get. External world makes them miserable and makes them be callous. How can they live among empty people?
This book makes reader wonder about value of person's life, freedom and also, I would like to emphasize cruelty, violence and pressure that is put on people.
In my opinion, the main themes of 1984 are still relevant in the modern world. That is why I would strongly recommend you to read this book. I am sure that it will change your worldview and I am deeply convinced that anti-utopia would not be complete without 1984.

Interesting read. You should read "Fahrenheit 451" if you like dystopian novels.
