World War Three wiped out the humankind. The planet is empty now. Huge cities became dust and ashes. Railroads are being eaten by rust. Abandoned satellites hang lonely in their orbits.

Publicado em 1949, o texto de Orwell nasceu destinado à polêmica. Traduzido em mais de sessenta países, virou minissérie, filmes, quadrinhos, mangás e até uma ópera. Ganhou holofotes em 1999, quando uma produtora holandesa batizou seu reality show de Big Brother. 1984 foi responsável pela popularização de muitos termos e conceitos, como Grande Irmão, duplopensar, novidioma, e buraco da memória. O trabalho de Winston, o herói de 1984, é reescrever artigos de jornais do passado, de modo que o registro histórico sempre apoie a ideologia do Partido.
