1984 es el último libro escrito por Orwell, publicado un año antes de su muerte en 1950. En él, proyectaba un futuro distópico donde se presentaba una sociedad estrictamente controlada por un totalitarismo extremo y un individuo que empieza a pensar por sí mismo, replanteándose el sistema vigente. Aunque la fecha se haya superado, con Internet como una versión inmaterial del Gran Hermano, el creciente poder de las grandes corporaciones, cada vez más poderosas y globalizadas, y la capacidad de control y recopilación de información que representan las nuevas tecnologías, que suponen a la vez un medio de difusión de proclamas, de mansajes velados y fake news, mantienen la vigencia del relato de Orwell.
George Orwell (Author), Carlos Ramos (Narrator)

London, 1984: Winston Smith, Geschichtsfälscher im Staatsdienst, verliebt sich in die schöne und geheimnisvolle Julia. Gemeinsam beginnen sie, die totalitäre Welt infrage zu stellen, als Teil derer sie bisher funktioniert haben. Doch bereits ihre Gedanken sind Verbrechen, und der Große Bruder richtet seinen stets wachsamen Blick auf jeden potenziellen Dissidenten. George Orwells Vision eines totalitären Staats, in dem Cyberüberwachung, Geschichtsrevisionismus und Gedankenpolizei den Alltag gläserner Bürger bestimmen, hat wie keine andere Dystopie bis heute nur an Brisanz gewonnen.

No creo que la sociedad que he descrito en 1984 necesariamente llegue a ser una realidad, pero sí creo que puede llegar a existir algo parecido , escribía Orwell después de publicar su novela. Corría el año 1948, y la realidad se ha encargado de convertir esa pieza -entonces de ciencia ficción- en un manifiesto de la realidad.En el año 1984 Londres es una ciudad lúgubre en la que la Policía del Pensamiento controla de forma asfixiante la vida de los ciudadanos. Winston Smith es un peón de este engranaje perverso y su cometido es reescribir la historia para adaptarla a lo que el Partido considera la versión oficial de los hechos. Hasta que decide replantearse la verdad del sistema que los gobierna y somete.La crítica ha dicho... Aquí ya no estamos solo ante lo que habitualmente reconocemos como "literatura" e identificamos con la buena escritura. Aquí estamos, repito, ante energía visionaria. Y no todas las visiones se refieren al futuro, o al Más Allá. Umberto Eco Entre mis libros favoritos, lo leo una y otra vez. Margaret Atwood No es difícil pensar que Orwell, en 1984, estuviera imaginando un futuro para la generación de su hijo, un mundo del que deseaba prevenirles. Thomas Pynchon La libertad es una obligación tan dolorosa que siempre habrá quien prefiera rendirse. La virtud de libros como 1984 es su capacidad para recordarnos que la libertad de los seres humanos responsables no es igual a la de los animales. Anthony Burgess Desde El proceso de Kafka ninguna obra fantástica ha alcanzado el horror lógico de 1984. Arthur Koestler Un libro magnífico y profundamente interesante. Aldous Huxley

Audiobook
George Orwell, was an English novelist, essayist, journalist, and critic. His work is characterized by lucid prose, biting social criticism, opposition to totalitarianism, and outspoken support of democratic socialism. Orwell's work remains influential in popular and political culture, and the adjective 'Orwellian'—describing totalitarian and authoritarian social practices—is part of the English language, like many of his neologisms, such as 'Big Brother', 'Thought Police', 'Two Minutes Hate', 'Room 101', 'memory hole', 'Newspeak', 'doublethink', 'proles', 'unperson', and 'thoughtcrime', as well as providing direct inspiration for the neologism 'groupthink'. 1984 centers on the consequences of totalitarianism, mass surveillance, and repressive regimentation of persons and behaviors within society. Orwell modeled the totalitarian government in the novel after Stalinist Russia. More broadly, the novel examines the role of truth and facts within politics and the ways in which they are manipulated. The story takes place in an imagined future, the year 1984 when much of the world has fallen victim to perpetual war, omnipresent government surveillance, historical negationism, and propaganda. Great Britain, known as Airstrip One, has become a province of a totalitarian superstate named Oceania that is ruled by the Party who employs the Thought Police to persecute individuality and independent thinking. Big Brother, the leader of the Party, enjoys an intense cult of personality despite the fact that he may not even exist. The protagonist, Winston Smith, is a diligent and skillful rank-and-file worker and Outer Party member who secretly hates the Party and dreams of rebellion. He enters into a forbidden relationship with a colleague, Julia, and starts to remember what life was like before the Party came to power. This edition in Italian
