Animal Farm is a very interesting criticism of Stalinism considering that it was written at the height of Stalin's powers.
I wasn't as impressed by 1984, namely because Orwell neglected to take any side in his attack on government. I guess he saw totalitarianism sneaking back into everything.
I wonder what Orwell would think of the internet.
