Hi, this is Elizabeth from WTI and if you're in for a good classic make sure to read 1984 by George Orwell. One of the things that I love about this book is that it was written in 1949 but it is the prediction of the future for 1984. Now you might be thinking, well we're way past 1984. The really interesting thing about this book is that no matter where we are, it's always speaking about our future. This is what he thought our future was going to look like and he wasn't wrong but it's still like what the future is still going to look like. You'll hear a lot of different quotes of Big Brother is watching you. That whole idea and conspiracy about how the government is watching you or using our devices or cameras and all of that, it all started with this book and so that's why it's a really awesome read to see how someone before all technology took over thought the world was going to look like. You're like, wow, all of these things are happening and hopefully we don't end up like the people in the book. But it's a really good read. It's a little bit of science fiction and drama and it takes you on a really interesting ride and a future that is dominated so much by technology and by the government. It is a must to keep in your bookshelves and it's a must to make sure that you read this all-time classic of 1984 and that's my point of view.
