> Later in his life Orwell admitted that he have been aware of "We" before writing "1984"
Did he ever deny it though? This is his review of it published in 1946, before 1984 was published, and even before it was finished, which was, I think, in 1948 โ€” hence the name: orwellfoundation.com/the-orwel

No, I got it. And I don't have favorites in this one, We is an interesting read indeed, but a bit bland to my taste as fiction โ€” still a significant work in the sci-fi dystopia genre. And I don't consider 1984 Orwell's best work either, I like his first one, Down and Out in Paris and London, the most ๐Ÿ˜…
I was just a little surprised, I've never heard him denying it.
