George Orwell 1984 - Intro

George Orwell's dystopian novel from 1948 finds increasing resonance in the modern age. Projecting a future where the government has the will to observe and control every citizen, Orwell is seen as having prophecised the ultra-oppressive regimes that have been witnessed since publication. His concept of the Thought-Police is disturbingly close to East Germany's Stasi and Romania's Securitate, among others. His idea of the two-way Telescreen pre-empts the powers of the CIA, FBI, GCHQ and even the likelihood that some other insidious agent may have access to the camera currently looking at you from above this screen.  As nationalistic agendas increasingly dominate the headlines, Orwells' novel serves as a timely reminder that we should never surrender our freedoms willingly. This book is a warning that we should all heed.
