For me it is Down and Out in Paris and London by Orwell at the moment.

While current technologies might enable Orwellian world in not too distant future we are very far from 1984.

We are far from propaganda preassure of Stalin's Great Purge or Mao's Great Leap.

Didn't read. I'll write down the title to remember it and try to read it soon.

Thanks!
