1984 by George Orwell isn’t just a novel, it’s a warning. Set in a world where truth is controlled, love is forbidden, and your own thoughts can betray you, it shows what happens when power goes unchecked.
Orwell wrote it while dying, pouring his final breath into a story that still echoes today. In an age of surveillance, censorship, and manipulation, 1984 matters more than ever. This video breaks it all down.
