Dystopian, Literary Fiction, Political Dystopia, Speculative Fiction

In Oceania, truth is whatever the Party says it is. History can be rewritten, facts erased, memories crushed under the weight of Big Brother’s gaze. Winston Smith knows better—but knowing is dangerous.

Every day, he quietly resists, clinging to fragments of memory the Party cannot yet control. When he falls into a forbidden love affair with Julia, Winston dares to imagine a future not dictated by Thought Police or propaganda. But rebellion comes at a price, and in Oceania, betrayal is inevitable.

George Orwell’s 1984 is more than dystopian fiction—it is a chilling magnifying glass held to power, manipulation, and the fragility of freedom. Seventy-five years later, it remains both terrifying and essential. The question is not if it could happen, but if it already has.
