QUESTION '1984' Moved To Current Affairs Section

U.S.—According to a representative from the American Booksellers Association as well as a representative from publisher Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, retail shops and online book resellers will now be asked to stock George Orwell’s dystopian novel 1984 exclusively in the “Current Affairs” section of their retail locations and online storefronts.

The reclassification came as a wave of worldview censorship and privacy violations by large tech companies have come to light, as well as the House of Representatives recent vote to renew NSA surveillance programs, though factors like the Trump administration’s redefinition of truth and facts also reportedly played a part.
