Orwell is too cool

I just finished reading the Animal Farm. Here are a few words from the cover.

Having got rid of their human master, the animals of Manor Farm look forward to a life of freedom and plenty. But as a clever, ruthless elite among them takes control, the other animals find themselves hopelessly ensnared in the old ways.

It is indeed one of the most shocking books I have read. The new rulers impose more and more controls on the animals while reserving privileges for themselves, until ultimately all that remains of the Principles of Animalism is that

ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL
BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL
THAN OTHERS.
