Get to a discussion group or a forum on 1984 – click and paste 10 questions people ask about this novel here:

What did you guys think of it, do you think that this book relates to today? It reminded me about the idea if the matrix. How something completly controls one's life. What do you think?
Who has read George Orwells' 1984? If you haven't, you should. The things that are going on in this country right now, and the road we are speeding down is described in this book. I hadn't ever read it before but a buddy last week said the comparisons from the book and current events was nothing short of "God Dang Scarey". Guess what, he was right!
How could "1984" by george orwell not be considered a political novel???
1. Who the heck was this O'Brien guy? At first he is on his side and then he tortures him in the Ministry of Love?

2. Was Mr. Charrington always a member of the Thought Police, and was the telescreen always behind the picture?

3. What was the bit about the bullet entering his brain in the last paragraph?
How is this story a warning today about how technology can control us and is it a necessary warning? Best book to compare to 1984?
I was stopped by the Though Police?
