#756) BURMESE DAYS, George Orwell- Corruption in Burma reads a lot like corruption in the US, especially in 2020. The novel follows an Englishman in Burma who wants to do the right thing but is surrounded by a sea of corruption. The book captures that tension between the English colonists and the oppressed colonies and adds yet another strike against the Age of Imperialism.
