I really need to buy that book and read it again. It was one the hardest reads in my teens.

That book, along with Brave New World have shaped me so deeply. I’ve read 1984 periodically and each reading reveals so much more than the last because I have new mental lenses each time.

Definitely pick it up again and give it a punt.
