Title: Not just a "Political" Novel
Review: As Orwell's 1984 is conventionally viewed as a "political" novel, it's value lies more in the deeper psychological meaning the book conveys, as Erich Fromm eloquently expounds in his afterword. More in this respect can the book be viewed as meaningful across both time and nation. It definitely is not just a novel for the disgruntled paranoids in our time and country as the political point of view might have it. As Fromm basically explains, the book is fundamentally an expression of the "deepest alienation in the minds of organizational man". In light of that, you might say that Dilbert lovers would appreciate the book.
