1984 Fanlisting
Nineteen Eighty-Four (often 1984) is a satirical political novel written by George Orwell. The story takes
place in a nightmarish dystopia where the omnipresent State enforces perfect conformity among members of a totalitarian Party through indoctrination, propaganda,
fear, and ruthless punishment. The novel introduced the concepts of the ever-present, all-seeing Big Brother, the notorious Room 101, the ubiquitous thought police,
and the bureaucrats' and politicians' language Newspeak. Many commentators draw parallels between today's society and the world of 1984, suggesting
that we are starting to live in what has become known as Orwellian society. The novel was successful in terms of sales, and has remained one of the most influential
books of the 20th century.
Along with Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, the world of Nineteen Eighty-Four is one of the first and most cited characterizations of a realistic
dystopia to have appeared in English literature. The book has been translated into many languages. Orwell acknowledged the influence on his novel of Yevgeny Zamyatin's
Russian novel We, completed in 1921. Nineteen Eighty-Four has become a byword in discussions of privacy issues. The term "Orwellian" has
come to describe actions or organisations that are thought to be reminiscent of the society depicted in the novel.

OKee ... Beyond the official sources about 1984 on the web and elsewhere, I'm glad to have the opportunity to do a modest fanlisting on the subject ...
Sadly, the world of today, in his daily way of nonsense, demonstrates the continuing relevance of 1984's George Orwell vision ... and Big Brother's propaganda ...
- WAR IS PEACE ... ( just have a look around ... )
- FREEDOM IS SLAVERY ... ( Argue to bring democracy by war and make us believe than people will be more happy by consummating more and more should tell to everybody
who's not insane that something goes wrong isnt'it ? I don't know for you but for myself, I can't bear the idea to be a simple product estimated only for my capacity
of consumption ! What is freedom so ? )
- IGNORANCE IS STRENGHT ... ( when so much money is given to wars around the world, when democracy becomes only a big giant market for all human beeings, when the most 250
fortunate peeople on earth have the financial power of the 50 most poor countries of the world, where is the place for ideas, humanism, philosophy, scholarship and knowledge ? )
Oh YES ! George Orwell's 1984 has never been so alive than our today's societies ...

In 1984, George Orwell created a whole vocabulary of words concerning totalitarian control that have since passed into our common vocabulary. More importantly, he has portrayed a chillingly credible dystopia. In our deeply anxious world, the seeds of unthinking conformity are everywhere in evidence; and Big Brother is always looking for his chance. ( Daniel Hintzsche for amazon.com )
