"Nineteen Eighty-Four" revealed George Orwell as one of the
twentieth century's greatest mythmakers. While the totalitarian
system that provoked him into writing it has since passed into
oblivion, his harrowing cautionary tale of a man trapped in a
political nightmare has had the opposite fate: its relevance and
power to disturb our complacency seem to grow decade by decade. In
Winston Smith's desperate struggle to free himself from an
all-encompassing, malevolent state, Orwell zeroed in on tendencies
apparent in every modern society, and made vivid the universal
predicament of the individual.
