1984

by George Orwell

1984 is a dystopian romance by George Orwell published in


1948, which follows the life of Winston Smith which belongs to the
foreign party and works at the Ministry of Truth. He is disillusioned
by the Party's omnipresent eye and its ruler, Big Brother.
Big Brother controls every aspect of people's life. He invented
the language new language to eliminate political rebellion, and he
created Throughcrimes to stop people from even thinking about
things that are considered rebellious. The Party controls what people
read, say, say, and do, threatening to send them to the dreaded
Room 101 as a threatening punishment if they don't comply.
Orwell effectively explores the themes of mass media control,
government surveillance, and how a dictator can manipulate and
control history's thoughts and lives in such a way that no one can
escape it.
In my opinion, the novel 1984 is a well-written novel that
shows that soon we can expect total control, which will be possible
only thanks to the development of technology, and even though this
novel was written in 1948, its ideas have survived to this time.
