my friend told me i should read nineteen eighty-four book. Do you know anything about it?
It's a dystopian novel written by George Orwell.  Dystopian fiction is one of my favorite genres to read.
i like dystopian novels. can you tell me more about this book?
The setting is what was once Great Britain, in a country now called "Oceania" with always present government surveillance.
when was this book published?
It was published in 1949.  Truly a scary view of the future.
I really want to read it now
The main protaginists job is to rewrite past newspaper articles so they only reflect positively for the government.
wow, that sounds really interesting. pretty scary too
Very much so.  The main antagonist is known as "Big Brother" who is an intense personality seeking power only for his own good.
