GEORGE ORWELL’S SEMINAL book about a dystopian, authoritarian regime first hit the shelves in 1949.
Now, sales of 1984 have gone through the roof since the inauguration of Donald Trump as US President, soaring onto the Amazon best sellers list.
In the book, a superstate rules with extreme control and persecutes anybody who tries to have any form of independent thought that doesn’t tie-in with what the authorities deem to be the facts.
Sales of the book peak and trough regularly, such as when Edward Snowden disclosed the details around US mass surveillance, and now they’ve peaked again.
So, today we’re asking how well do you know 1984?
