What will happen if ideas of fascism and dictatorship spread among the ruling circles? What will society be like if the power demands unwavering obedience? To what catastrophe will such a regime lead? In the state of Oceania, citizens have... no rights, meaning the party's power is absolute. The everyday lives of the heroes take place in an atmosphere of fear and constant upheaval. Here, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of choice, freedom of love, and even freedom of thought are all obliterated. It is impossible to break the order, for Big Brother is watching every move. The horrors of the crimes committed by the state machinery were captured by George Orwell in his major work – “1984”. This cautionary novel about the dangers of totalitarianism has become one of the most famous dystopias of the 20th century, ranking alongside “We” by Zamyatin, “Brave New World” by Huxley, and “Fahrenheit 451” by Bradbury.
