Review: 1984 by George Orwell is a chilling dystopian novel that remains alarmingly relevant today. Set in a totalitarian society ruled by the oppressive Party, protagonist Winston Smith rebels against surveillance and propaganda, only to face the consequences of his defiance. Orwell's exploration of power, truth, and the erosion of individual freedom is hauntingly prescient. The novel's themes of surveillance and government control resonate deeply in an era of increasing digital monitoring and censorship. With its stark warning against authoritarianism,1984 serves as a timeless reminder of the fragility of democracy and the importance of safeguarding civil liberties.
