In his engrossing dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, George Orwell created the world of Big Brother, doublethink, thoughtcrime, Newspeak, Room 101, 2 + 2 = 5, and the memory hole: indeed, a society we refer to as Orwellian.   In our world of fake news, and ubiquitous state and corporate monitoring of citizens,  Nineteen Eighty-Four is even more relevant than when it was written.

“I do not think I have ever read a novel more frightening and depressing; and yet, such are the originality, the suspense, the speed of writing and withering indignation that it is impossible to put the book down." – V. S. Pritchett.
