I recently finished 1984 for school. That book along with Fahrenheit 451 were big impacts on me because I read them just when I was starting to understand the world around me wasn't just High School, but other stuff too. But most importantly they taught about the dangers of specific censorship (or censorship in general). I learned a lot from those books.

1984 did the same for me as well. On a simple level, it just taught me to question authority and to watch the "left hand" when the "right" is doing something flashy. I wouldn't say it made me a conspiracy theorist, but it did teach me to think clearly.
