I am reading 1984 by George Orwell. I choose this book because Ms Quick gave it to me. I believe it is set in London 1984. The world has been split into 3 nations: Eastasia, Eurasia and Oceania. The place where the protagonist lives is Oceania. All three factions have been at war for the most part of twenty five years. The world has destroyed, they basically stay at war so that they can get the citizens into a frenzy because then the citizens wouldn't focus on problems in the nation. The citizens don't own anything they do have they like property but they do have other than petty personal belongings like books, pyjamas, clothes, and books although the history is destroyed and/or vetted.
The protagonist is called Winston Smith numerical designation 6079. There is a crime in 1984 called thought crime it can be anywhere from saying Down with Big Brother in your sleep to suicide bombing a house and anything in between. He works in the truth department which works with changing the past and rewriting the information and forging the news papers. His house is a flat owned by the state they have Tv's and that's how they watch you.
