Read the book. It is useful to use it whenever you have to write a quick essay and the story itself is pretty enjoyable.

I always hear people reference this book a lot, but Ive never came around to actually reading it. Is it really that good though?

It's literally my favorite book. Skip the movie cause it skips the book within a book part which is actually the most important part of the story. It's pretty short too if your a fast reader you can finish it in a day.

If you're going to do it right, read 1984, Animal Farm, and Farenhiet 451 in any order.

Bonus points if you throw Catch 22, Ubik, and Cat's Cradle into the mix.

Everyone wants to claim that it's such a meaningful book, yet 95% of those people support statism in one fashion or another. Not a critique of the book, rather an observation of the cognitive dissonance amongst most of the populace.

Yes! This is something that I thought recently about the ending of MGS 2. One side tends to think of it as the dangers of political correctness gone amok and society having contradictory cultural values, and the other thinks of how dangerous it is to allow just the "strong" interest groups to propagate their cultural values to society at large.

I think you'll find that 100% of everyone supports statism in one fashion of another.

Isn't that both sides though? Well, at least the extreme outliers, as neither wants the other to hold any semblance of authority.
