One of the key technologies of surveillance in the novel is the “telescreen,” a device very much like our own television.

The dominant reading of “1984” has been that it was a dire prediction of what could be. In the words of Italian essayist Umberto Eco, “at least three-quarters of what Orwell narrates is not negative utopia, but history.” Additionally, scholars have also remarked how clearly “1984” describes the present.

May 7, 2018 · Reading 1984, George Orwell’s claustrophobic fable of totalitarianism, is still a shock. First comes the start of recognition: we recognise what he describes.
Jun 8, 2019 · The Ministry of Truth: The Biography of George Orwell’s 1984, by the British music critic Dorian Lynskey, makes a rich and compelling case for the novel as the summation of Orwell’s entire body of...
