Excellent question. It is definitely cross-genre, but is usually accepted as Science Fiction because of the Utopian / Dystopian view of the future (albeit allegorical), and because George Orwell is often put in the Science Fiction section for other works. This novel also won a Hugo award, which is a traditionally Science-Fiction genre prize.
It could be put under classics, or if the bookstore or library has a satire section, that is another traditional categorization. No clear-cut "this is it" answer here.

∙ 13y agoAnimal Farm is a great book where the literal meaning actually has a greater meaning. My sister told me that this book actually has a meaning of a national superpower. It tells the story about North Korea, and the future of the world. Of course, the story is about animals, but when you read it, try thinking more metaphorically than literally. Have fun reading the book.!
