A really quick easy read. Whilst, when people say that society is becoming Orwellian I think they are invariably talking about 1984, I think this could be referenced as well. Particularly as the animals seem to have very short term memories. I think this is very applicable to Trump and Boris; it’s incredible to me the levels of cognitive dissonance required for people to continue to believe Boris for so long.

I think the most impressive take away from the end of the book is the prophetic line about pigs and farmers both playing the ace of spades predicting the massive fallout (the cold war) that hadn’t yet occurred.
