"1984" ★★★★

"1984" is a philosophical deep dive into the nature of reality and identity. Winston's battle is not just against political oppression but against an existential void where truth is a malleable commodity controlled by those in power. It’s this relentless struggle between order and chaos that resonates the most, making us question our own perceptions of truth and freedom.
