Embedded Files
1984 by George Orwell
This is a book taking a chilling look at a totalitarian regime where every thought is monitored and history is rewritten. This classic warns us about the dangers of surveillance and censorship by governing authorities in order to hide the truth.
It reminds us how language and information shape the way we see the world and how quickly they can be twisted.
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
Set in Nazi Germany, this novel follows a young girl who steals books to share stories in a world silenced by fear.
Words can resist oppression and connect us together when everything else is falling apart.
It shows that even small acts of defiance, like reading (which you can do), can carry great power.
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
In a world where people are kept docile through pleasure and distraction, free will and individuality are sacrificed for stability.
Huxley explores how censorship can come not just through force, but through comfort and conformity (think echo chambers and the bubbles we live in when we refuse to interact with opposing viewpoints). It challenges readers to ask whether too much ease can actually be the perpetrator of control.
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
Books are illegal and firemen burn them. But one man begins to question the rules. Fahrenheit 451 is a book telling a powerful story about the importance of knowledge, critical thinking, and what happens when society stops asking questions.
The fight for freedom begins with just an ounce of curiosity.
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
This dystopian story imagines a society where women are stripped of their rights and voices. It’s a gripping, unsettling look at how quickly freedoms can vanish and how resistance begins with reclaiming your voice. The novel is a warning, but also a call to pay attention to whose voices are being silenced.
