1984
by George Orwell
George Orwell's 1984 is the dystopia about controlling truth itself: a portrait of total state power built on the manipulation of language, memory, and the past. Following Winston Smith, a clerk at the Ministry of Truth whose job is rewriting history, it remains one of speculative fiction's sharpest and most unsettling examinations of how power bends reality.
