Answer:

Nineteen Eighty-four, also published as 1984, novel by English author George Orwell published in 1949 as a warning against totalitarianism. The chilling dystopia made a deep impression on readers, and his ideas entered mainstream culture in a way achieved by very few books. The book’s title and many of its concepts, such as Big Brother and the Thought Police, are instantly recognized and understood, often as bywords for modern social and political abuses.

Summary

As the book is set in 1984 (Oceania), one of three perpetually warring totalitarian states (the other two are Eurasia and East Asia). Governed by the all-controlling Party, Oceania has brainwashed the population into unthinking obedience to its leader, Big Brother. The Party has created a propagandistic way of communication known as Newspeak, designed to limit free flow of ideals and promote the Party’s principles . Its words include doublethink (belief in contradictory ideas simultaneously), which is reflected in the Party’s slogans: “War is peace,” “Freedom is slavery,” and “Ignorance is strength"

maintaining control through the Thought Police and continual surveillance.

‘Newspeak’ in an attempt to completely eliminate political rebellion; created ‘Throughtcrimes’ to stop people even thinking of things considered rebellious. The party controls what people read, speak, say and do with the threat that if they dare disobey, they will be sent to the dreaded Room 101 as a looming punishment.
