Synopsis

This classic of modern literature is a must read for all open minded people from all parts of the world, purely because the leadership of every country needs to be held to account for their level of control over citizens lives. Creating one way of thinking and one party systems has proven to be a very dangerous combination in world history, where fighting to take over not only people, but countries, and then crushing other belief systems that don't agree with their own is repeated time and time again.George Orwell was responding to Stalins Communist Russia when writing this book, but the same problem keeps repeating itself today and will do in the future.This book is essential reading.1984 revolves around the concept of omnipresent government surveillance, where Big Brother controls the society in the super-state, Oceania. Every aspect of life is closely monitored, every trace of privacy is rubbed off and the slightest hint of personal freedom or rebellion is ruthlessly quashed by the ‘thought police’. Amidst these, a minor party official, Winston commits ‘thoughtcrimes’, follows his instincts, and lands in the most dreadful Room 101 where resides every man's ultimate horror! The novel takes the readers to a world where “the object of torture is torture. The object of power is power”.
