The book follows people in a totalitarian state called Oceania, where "newspeak" --the official language -- contains no negative terms. The objective of the fictional language is to eliminate people's personal thoughts by restricting expressiveness.

The popularity of the book comes after President Donald Trump's adviser Kellyanne Conway appeared on NBC's Meet The Press with Chuck Todd Sunday.

Todd questioned Conway over White House press secretary Sean Spicer's comments about Inauguration attracting “the largest audience ever."

She described the press secretary's comments as "alternative facts."

Washington Postreporter Karen Tumulty first noted the Orwellian similarities in an interview on CNN.

“Alternative facts is a George Orwell phrase,” she said during a "Reliable Sources" roundtable discussion about Conway's term.

Others have also been making comparisons between the book and the Trump era on Twitter.
