A Booksmith employee said Wednesday that Orwell's famous 1949 novel has been going fast, but that there are still a few copies left.

The store employee said the Atwood novel (which is set in a future U.S. turned into a theocratic dictatorship and has been adapted into a Hulu series coming out in April) has been almost as popular as 1984.
On Wednesday afternoon the store said there were still some free copies of the dystopian novel, as well as a few of Larson's nonfiction recounting of an American family living in Hilter's Berlin.
