Have you ever read 1984?
Yes, It's an amazing book. I can't believe it was published in 1949 by English author George Orwell. It really told the future.
Thats cool. Who is George Orwell.
He was an English novelist who was born in 1903 and died in 1950 just after 1984 was published. 
Thats cool. Where was he from?
He also wrote Animal Farm which was amazing. I think he was from London. 
I love that book, when did it come out?
It was published on 17 August 1945 four years before Nineteen Eighty-Four
