My favorite book is Nineteen Eighty-Four, by English author George Orwell.
Oh yeah, that book is pretty awesome. I read it a long time ago. When was it first published again?
Well, it was actually published in 1949.
Wow, so long ago. The themes still apply today. If anything it is even more frightening. 
Yeah, definitely. Just like in the book, our current government is not interested in the good of others, it is interested solely in power.
