A good book for our time. What does freedom really mean, and how do we live free lives in a politicized environment?

Review of 'Julia' on 'Goodreads'
5,0 stars
Not just a retelling but a complete recasting of 1984. It's helpful to consider this as a separate work: a response to 1984, in a way, rather than a layering on top or a direct sequel. It's a criticism, an extension, a modernization, and a deep appreciation for the ideas all in one - and I was hooked. There's so much I want to write about here, but I don't want to spoil it. The ending, in particular, is perfect.
