George Orwell's classic dystopian novel 1984 surged to the top of the iBooks bestseller list in the wake of political controversies surrounding the first week of the presidency of Donald J. Trump; it is also the #1 print book in the country. Orwell knocked Kendall Ryan's self-published The Room Mate down to #2, and Billy Taylor's Just Friends, also self-published, is #3. The collaboration between James Patterson and Candice Fox, Never Never, is #4.
