read the fucking sticky you idiot

1984 is shit.
Not because of the way it's written, who wrote it, but because the subject matter in 2016 is hardly fucking surprising. We're already being monitored daily. Sure, not through our TV's but through our phones and computers. The media is mostly lies, the people in charge are shaping us to their specifications and those who attempt to expose this mess (think Snowden, Manning etc) all have marks on them by the shitheads at the top.
1984 isn't shocking anymore.
1984 is here, we're living it.

Societal conditioning, war economy, and authoritarianism transcending political alignment are far more important aspects of 1984, and boiling it down to be "that book about surveillance" is a sure sign you haven't read it.

Isn't it shocking enough, although? The fact that something so blindingly unrealistic and ridiculous, a fantasy world. A place of fiction sprouted from someones mind is now a reality? Isn't that what is shocking about it?

Pretty much every author and book, your question is vague. Are you actually looking for scifi/dystopia stuff?
