Nineteen Eighty-Four (sometimes 1984) is a darkly satirical political novel and love story by George Orwell. The story takes place in a nightmarish dystopia, in which the ever surveillant State enforces perfect conformity among citizens through indoctrination, fear, lies and ruthless punishment. Published in 1949, it is Orwell's most famous work, and represents the reference for the word "Orwellian."
