With a new introduction by Professor Richard Bradford this edition
takes a fresh look at one of the great works of the twentieth
century. Orwell's classic dystopian fiction warns us of our future,
and deals with issues that speak to multiple dangers faced by many
nations today. Winston Smith is a member of 'the party' and subject
to constant surveillance by the eyes of Big Brother, the ruler of
the society. 'Newspeak' is designed to eradicate all political
speech, 'Thoughtcrimes' are categorized as any thoughts of
resistance or rebellion against any aspect of society, and the
threat of despatch to 'Room 101' is a looming warning to all.
Orwell explores the mechanics of totalitarianism revealing how
control over the mass media allows the state to control all aspects
of life, both the past and the future.
