Sales of George Orwell's 1984 surge after Kellyanne Conway's 'alternative facts' | Books | The Guardian

Sales of George Orwell's 1984 surge after Kellyanne Conway's 'alternative facts' Sales of George Orwell’s dystopian drama 1984 have soared after Kellyanne Conway, adviser to the reality-TV-star-turned-president, Donald Trump, used the phrase “alternative facts” in an interview. As of Tuesday, the book was the sixth best-selling book on Amazon (as I posted this it was in 1st place). This book should really be a "must read" setwork book at school. In 1984, a superstate wields extreme control over the people and persecutes any form of independent thought. Sound familiar? See http://ift.tt/2jtdYsN
