1984: Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell

1984 is the year in which it happens. The world is divided into three super states. In Oceania, the Party’s power is absolute. Every action, word, gesture and thought is monitored under the watchful eye of Big Brother and the Thought Police. In the Ministry of Truth, the Party’s department for propaganda, Winston Smith’s job is to edit the past. 1984 is one of the most famous dystopian stories of all time. The language from this book has even weaved its way into

modern culture with terms like ‘Big Brother’ and ‘Room 101’. This is most definitely a book you want to be able to say you’ve read before you get to university!
