Is it coincidental that I should be writing this review after the events of acquitting Mubarak and his associates of all charges? It probably is. 
 1984 is definitely a masterpiece, a book that every single person should or rather must read. It is a political encyclopedia for when it comes to how to establish a dictatorship, with even the most vivid details. What strikes and scares me most about this book is that the future Orwell has written about is already here; bit by bit it is turning into a reality. And As long as the people are unaware, as long as ignorance and illiteracy prevail, there will be no change. 
 What I thought was most implemented in the real world was the symbolism of Big Brother. He is the face of the party, the face of the leadership. He might not even exist; it is the idea itself that is more powerful. The faces may change but what the face symbolizes and whatever ideology behind that face will never change. But there are other concepts and elements already implemented and manifested in many different countries of the world. 
 I fully agree with Orwell that the world of 1984 might really begin to manifest some time in the near future but I really hope that at some point it will all change; I really hope that the "proles" will rise up against leadership. "If there is hope, it lies in the proles." 
 "The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently." 
 "Power is not a means; it is an end." 
 "One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship." 
 You have been warned.
