Reading novels 2024

In dystopian novels, authors describe a world where certain trends in contemporary societies are taken to extremes exposing their underlying flaws, and sometimes, we can draw a parallel between the threats that our society is facing and the fictitious world described in these novels.

Seventy years ago, the classic novel 1984 by English author George Orwell was published, and from that moment onwards the famous line “Big Brother is watching you!” became an integral part of popular culture. However, the trends of surveillance, power, and control present in the novel are still relatable themes in our society today.
