In a totalitarian world where omnipresent surveillance stifles all forms of freedom, Winston Smith, a Party employee, tries to resist. In the frightening society of Oceania, thoughts are controlled, words are manipulated and the truth is rewritten. Telecoms monitor every movement, every expression, every sigh. Winston rebels by writing a secret diary, loving a forbidden woman and searching for the truth behind the Party's lies. But the Big Brotherhood is watching, and dissenting thought is punished in the most brutal ways. In this dystopian world, where reality is malleable and memory is betrayed, Winston fights for his own humanity. Will his desire for freedom lead him to rebellion or destruction?
A timeless classic, "1984" explores the themes of surveillance, manipulation and resistance. A deep dive into the human soul, where truth is relative and freedom is an act of courage.
