America’s political paradigm shift is clearly making people ponder on the nature of dystopia, as George Orwell’s classic 1984 is the sixth best-selling book on Amazon right now.

Its surge was spotted by the Guardian, and 1984 could climb higher as the chart is updated on an hourly basis.

Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway is likely responsible for more readers discovering the 1949 novel, as she used the term “alternative facts” during a CNN interview - a phrase many have noted is evocative of the word "newspeak" used in the book by Orwell.

The term is reminiscent of those used by Big Brother’s regime to keep the wool over the public’s eyes in the book, also including “doublethink”.
