There are many different books in the world on any topic we want. As for me, I really like books about an imaginary future this genre is called a dystopia. It is interesting for me to find connections with the past and the present. Recently, I stumbled upon about the book "1984" by George Orwell and I decided to share my opinion about this book with others by writing a review of this book.
