1984 (Paperback)

George Orwell's 1984 set the vocabulary that later writing about surveillance and propaganda has been borrowing ever since. Published in 1949, the novel follows a clerk employed by a state that rewrites its own records, and it works as both a story and an argument about language, memory and political control. Terms such as doublethink and Newspeak came out of these pages and remain in ordinary use. This Amazing Reads paperback runs to 320 pages with a suggested readership of thirteen and above, which fits a text often set for senior school and undergraduate study.
