NSA surveillance puts George Orwell's '1984' on bestseller lists

1984 by George Orwell

George Orwell's "1984." (Carolyn Kellogg / Los Angeles Times)

Big Brother is watching. And people are reading.

Thanks to the ongoing National Security Administration surveillance scandal, George Orwell's "1984" is enjoying a surge in popularity, landing at No. 4 on Amazon's list of "Movers and Shakers." Sales of Orwell's classic have risen an astonishing 5,771% as of Tuesday morning, with a current sales rank of 213, up from 12,507 just a few days ago. A different edition of the novel has even made it onto Amazon's top 100 bestsellers list.

It's a nice birthday present for the 1949 novel, which marked its 64th anniversary on June 8 amid revelations that made Orwell's "Big Brother" seem more relevant than ever
