And maybe it wasn't - the people in 1984 are not treated much better than farm animals. "Big Brother" and censoring of reading material fits with the context. I have to admit that I haven't read Animal Farm, I did read 1984 though. Is Animal Farm also about problems with society as in 1984? If so, I might have to put that on my reading list.

Yes. It's very good. The animals end up with a saying early on in the book "Four legs good, two legs bad." I read it in high school, many moons ago.
