Winston Smith edits old newspapers for a living, rewriting the past so it agrees with the present, and that is where Orwell's novel begins its argument.
Oceania under Big Brother supplies the machinery: surveillance, Newspeak, the Ministry of Truth and a Party that treats memory as state property. Orwell wrote it as fiction but it has been read as political analysis ever since, and the vocabulary it invented remains in general use. This Fingerprint paperback runs to 310 pages.
Still worth reading for:
• A society built on surveillance and rewritten records
• Newspeak and doublethink as instruments of political control
• A plot that functions as narrative and as argument
• A 310-page paperback edition from Fingerprint
Assigned in classrooms and picked up by readers of political fiction and dystopia, published by Fingerprint and available at Boipoka.
