Opinion essay - Book Review

1984 - George Orwell.
I´m reading 1984, is a traditional book of George Orwell. This book talks about the history of one man that sees the world in the future. The book is written in 1942, when the author lives the Second World Warm. When the author wrote a book think in the future in the year 1984, this is reason for the title of the book. I´m my opinion the book reflects part of the reality that we are living.

George Orwell says in his book that the future situation is controlled by the power, and appears political leaders. This is true, for example, in this moment the people are governed for person and they give orders that you have to be fulfilled.

Then, the author talk about the society is overrun by technology, where you lose the freedom and privacy. I think that the technology is a way for humans to evolve and in necessary in the life of the person and at the moment everyone is free to make your intimate life or not.

Finally, I’m say that the book is a good novel and it’s have different elements that make the life that we are living today.
