«No creo que la sociedad que he descrito en 1984 necesariamente llegue a ser una realidad, pero s? creo que puede llegar a existir algo parecido , escrib?a Orwell despu?s de publicar su novela. Corr?a el a?o 1948, y la realidad se ha encargado de convertir esa pieza -entonces de ciencia ficci?n- en un manifiesto de la realidad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Nineteen Eighty-Four (also published as
1984) is a dystopian social science fiction novel and cautionary tale by English writer George Orwell. It was published on 8 June 1949 by Secker & Warburg as Orwell’s ninth and final book completed in his lifetime. Thematically, it centers on the consequences of totalitarianism, mass surveillance and repressive regimentation of people and behaviours within society. Orwell, a democratic socialist, modelled the authoritarian state in the novel on Stalinist Russia and Nazi Germany. More broadly, the novel examines the role of truth and facts within societies and the ways in which they can be manipulated.
The story takes place in an imagined future in the year 1984, when much of the world is in perpetual war. Great Britain, now known as Airstrip One, has become a province of the totalitarian superstate Oceania, which is led by Big Brother, a dictatorial leader supported by an intense cult of personality manufactured by the Party’s Thought Police. Through the Ministry of Truth, the Party engages in omnipresent government surveillance, historical negationism, and constant propaganda to persecute individuality and independent thinking.
