As literary political fiction, 1984 is considered a classic novel
of the social science fiction subgenre. Since its publication in
1949, many of its terms and concepts, such as Big Brother,
doublethink, thoughtcrime, Newspeak, and Memory hole, have become
contemporary vernacular. In addition, the novel popularised the
adjective Orwellian, which refers to lies, surveillance, and
manipulation of the past in the service of a totalitarian agenda.
In 1998, the Modern Library ranked 1984 13th on its list of the 100
best English-language novels of the 20th century. This edition
includes footnotes, Appendix, and a new introduction.
