Nineteen Eighty-Four

Futuristic novel by George Orwell, published in 1949, which tells of an individual's battle against, and eventual surrender to, a totalitarian state where Big Brother rules. It is a dystopia (the opposite of a utopia) and many of the words and concepts in it have passed into common usage (for example, newspeak, doublethink, thought police).

Welcome to 1984 by Kaiser, Charles / The Advocate (The national gay & lesbian newsmagazine)
After finishing the article, I thought of George Orwell's novel ``1984,'' in which the meanings of words were perverted by the party for purposes of ideological conformity and the subordination of the individual to the collective - war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength.
