Others: Mostly positiveWinston Smith lives in a society where the government controls people every second of the day. He fights this world with love. But it's dangerous: love for another person can be punished by death - and Big Brother is always watching. Orwell's classic story shows that there is no freedom unless ideas and beliefs can be questioned. This is as true today as when it was written, more than fifty years ago. --back cover

The "reality dysfunction" is a break in the fabric of reality that allows the dead to return to our world, where they possess living bodies.
