Thought Police, Big Brother, Orwellian. These words have become part of our national vocabulary because of George Orwell’s classic novel, 1984, the story of one man’s nightmare odyssey through a world ruled by warring states and a power structure that controls not only information, but individual thought and memory. A minor functionary named Winston Smith joins a covert brotherhood and pursues a forbidden love affair against the cold, gray backdrop of the Republic of Oceania—only to become a hunted enemy of the state...and Big Brother.
Today, half a century after it was written, Orwell’s prophetic, haunting tale of conformity and identity strikes a disturbing chord. As we follow Winston Smith through his rebellion, imprisonment, torture, and reeducation, we witness firsthand the worst crime we can inflict upon ourselves and others: the destruction of the truths and freedoms that make us who we are.
