George Orwell’s 1984 has gone from required reading to desired reading.

With Donald Trump’s administration popularising terms such as “alternative facts,” the dystopian novel first published in 1949 has topped Amazon.com for more than a week.

Signet Classics announced on Wednesday that it has ordered an additional 500,000 copies printed for a book that already is standard classroom reading.
