"Big Brother is watching over you" - seamless surveillance by cameras and monitors around the clock, spying on friends, neighbors and children: the Party is omnipresent in public and private life, nothing escapes its notice. The writing of history is distorted and adapted to current political circumstances; individuality is not desired. Those who resist are punished with torture or death. Winston Smith, an employee in the "Ministry of Truth", who sees through the elaborate system, tries to retain a remnant of personal freedom despite all the dangers. When he falls in love, the consequences are fatal.George Orwell's dystopian novel 1984 - the gloomy scenario of a totalitarian surveillance state that destroys all individuality has long since become a classic.In the novel, written in 1948, George Orwell relentlessly paints the frightening picture of a society that monitors everything and everyone around the clock and is tightly organized down to the last detail. More than ever, we find it hard to escape the oppressive reality.
