In my opinion everyone in the UK should read it. Never has 1984 been more apposite, if not prophetic, than today. It almost makes me wonder if Orwell was either a time traveller or had incredible precognitive powers. What would he have thought about the Internet, I wonder?
The way things are going in this country - our efforts notwithstanding - if anyone wrote a sequel (updated to accommodate modern advances), it'd be difficult to distinguish it from a traveller's guide to the UK...
