GEORGE ORWELL WEIRD 1984 THINGS

Nineteen Eighty-Four" is a dystopian social science fiction novel by George Orwell, published in 1949 as a warning against totalitarianism.

The book is set in Oceania, one of three perpetually warring totalitarian states, and centers on the consequences of totalitarianism, mass surveillance, and repressive regimentation of people and behaviours within society.

The book's title and many of its concepts, such as Big Brother and the Thought Police, are instantly recognized and understood, often as bywords for modern social and political abuses.

Orwell's native gifts are perhaps not of a transcendent kind; they have their roots in a quality of mind that ought to be as frequent as it is modest.
