Nineteen Eighty-Four

Big Brother, Thoughtcrime, Newspeak, Doublethink, Room 101. The ominous jargon coined by George Orwell in Nineteen Eighty-Four, his last and greatest novel, are understood even by those who have yet to read the book. In Airstrip One, truth is a memory and thought is a crime. Winston Smith dares to question the Party – and pays the price. Orwell's dystopia is as stark and startling as ever, a mirror that reflects each new generation's fears. Big Brother never left, and Nineteen Eighty-Four is fiction that reads like prophecy – and still has the power to bite.

George Orwell's masterpiece. In an alternate future, Winston Smith rewrites history for the Ministry of Truth, so that it matches the totalitarian government’s current needs. Only now he must stand up to Big Brother.
