Dystopia, Novel, Utopian and dystopian fiction by George Orwell, Sybille Titeux de la Croix

Blurb

1984 er en dystopisk roman skrevet af den engelske forfatter George Orwell og udgivet i 1949. Romanen foregår i 1984 og fokuserer på et undertrykkende, totalitært regime. Bogen handler om en tilsyneladende ubetydelig mand, Winston Smith, som er ansat af staten til at omskrive historiske dokumenter og derved fremme propaganda, og hans forsøg på at gøre oprør mod den totalitære stat, han bor i.
Romanen er blevet berømt for sin skildring af overvågning og statens stigende indgreb på individets rettigheder. Siden dens udgivelse er udtryk og begreber som Store Broder og orwellsk blevet udbredt i litteraturkritikken til at beskrive handlinger eller organisationer, der minder om det totalitære samfund, som romanen beskriver.

Maybe it was boring because its genius has already seeped into culture. Maybe it's just boring.

Way ahead of it's time and great to read this in the light of current events. But it's such a slow burn.
