"1984 is a dystopian novel by English novelist George Orwell. It was published on 8 June 1949 as Orwell's ninth and final book completed in his lifetime. Thematically, 1984 centres on the consequences of government over-reach, totalitarianism, mass surveillance, and repressive regimentation of all persons and behaviours within society. More broadly, it examines the role of truth and facts within politics and their manipulation.
The story takes place in an imagined future, the year 1984, when much of the world has fallen victim to perpetual war, omnipresent government surveillance, historical negationism, and propaganda. Great Britain, known as Airstrip One, has become a province of a totalitarian superstate named Oceania that is ruled by the Party who employ the Thought Police to persecute individuality and independent thinking. Big Brother, the leader of the Party, enjoys an intense cult of personality despite the fact that he may not exist. The protagonist, Winston Smith, is a diligent and skillful rank-and-file worker and Party member who secretly hates the Party and dreams of rebellion. He enters a forbidden relationship with a co-worker, Julia.
1984 has become a classic literary example of political and dystopian fiction. Many terms used in the novel have entered common usage, including Big Brother, doublethink, thoughtcrime, Newspeak, Room 101, telescreen, 2 + 2 = 5, prole, and memory hole. Nineteen Eighty-Four also popularised the adjective "Orwellian", connoting things such as official deception, secret surveillance, brazenly misleading terminology, and manipulation of recorded history by a totalitarian or authoritarian state. Time included it on its 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to 2005. It was placed on the Modern Library's 100 Best Novels, reaching No. 13 on the editors' list and No. 6 on the readers' list. In 2003, the novel was listed at No. 8 on The Big Read survey by the BBC. Parallels have been drawn between the novel's subject matter and real life instances of totalitarianism, communism, mass surveillance, and violations of freedom of expression among other themes."

George Orwell „1984“
Vorwort in Radio-Elektronik Heft1 1984
von Woltgang £. Schlegel
Das jetzt angebrochene Jahr 1984 wurde vor 35 Jahren von dem englischen Schriftsteller George Orwell als Inbegriff des Schrecklichen apostrophiert. Er beschrieb in seinem gleichnamigen Roman die Vision, wie u. a. mit Hilfe einer perfekten Elektronik sämtliche Lebensbereiche und Tätigkeiten der menschlichen Gesellschaft bis hinab zum einzelnen Individuum kontrollert, bespitzelt und manipuliert würden. Die Gesellschaft selbst sah er geistig und materiell verarmt, die Staatsform faschistoid. Die drei noch existierenden Superstaaten lägen nach Orwell in ständigem Krieg miteinander. Die Erinnerung an den Frieden und an das friedliche Miteinanderleben war bei den Menschen völlig in Vergessenheit geraten.
Diese düstere Vision wurde noch nicht zur-Realität und darf es auch nie werden. Realität wurde jedoch die technische Entwicklung, die von Orwell fast richtig vorausgeahnt wurde und die zu den schmutzigsten Zwecken mißbraucht werden kann und auch mißbraucht wird.
