About this book

1984 is George Orwell's dystopian novel, published in 1949. It is set in Oceania, a country ruled by the Party and its leader, Big Brother, where telescreens watch every home and independent thought is a crime. Winston Smith works at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting records so that the past always agrees with whatever the Party says today. He secretly begins to doubt the system, starts a diary, and falls in love with Julia, a fellow worker. Their small acts of rebellion lead them into the hands of the Thought Police. The novel gave the language terms such as Big Brother, Newspeak, doublethink and Room 101, and it remains a key text on surveillance, propaganda and the control of truth.
