Orwell's genius

Just finished 1984 again. It's the finest book ever written. I don't need to read them all - nothing could surpass it. The most terrible future imaginable. Orwell created a perfect dictatorship - its lucky he was a good man and not a politician. He understood exactly how power works, how the class system works and the ways in which all governments would con their people well into the future. Witness the War on Terror, and all the doublethink it entails.
It's also the most tragic love story ever told. Romeo and Juliet never stopped loving each other - love wins in that play. In 1984 love is crushed and destroyed along with decency and humanity and thought.
It's intensely disturbing. More disturbing even than the Wasp Factory.
Which is pretty disturbing.
