The revelations about government surveillance have introduced a new generation of readers to Nineteen Eighty-Four, as sales of George Orwell’s dystopian classic soar.

Sales of the “centennial edition” on Amazon.com had skyrocketed more than 5,800% as of Tuesday night. The novel that introduced the world to the all-seeing, all-knowing “Big Brother” had climbed from No. 7,397 to No. 125 on Amazon’s best-seller list, the fifth-best performance.

Sales of the “Signet Classics” edition had risen 287% — moving from 810 to 209 and rounding out the top 20.

Barnes & Nobles has also seen a “significant spike in sales” of the book, which is a perennial top seller, a company executive told Bloomberg.

The book was published 64 years ago Saturday.
