George Orwell – 1984
Orwell's 1984 is as relevant as it was when it was built today. It is interesting that this dystopian Science Fiction work is more influential than any philosophical or scientific reminiscence of the future. 1984, one of the most influential novels ever written; There is a profound effect on humanity. Since its publication in 1949, most of its concepts have entered the daily language. Expressions such as Big Brother, DoubleTink, Thought Crime, Newspeak, and Room 101 are all derived from Orwell. Moreover, with the influence of the book, the Orwellian word became a formal deception, a secret surveillance, and a term describing the manipulation of the past by a totalitarian or authoritarian state. Orwell hoped that writing 1984 would help stop the existence of such a state. Read this quote and decide for yourself.
