1984《一九八四》 by George Orwell

1984 still holds chief significance nearly sixty years after it was written in 1949. It is widely acclaimed for its haunting vision of an all-knowing government, which uses pervasive, twenty-four/seven surveillance tactics to manipulate all citizens of the populace.

《一九八四》是奥威尔的传世之作，堪称世界文坛最著名的反乌托邦、反极权的政治讽喻小说。

他在小说中创造的“老大哥”、“双重思想”、“ 新话”等词汇都已收威的英语词典，甚至由他的姓衍生出“奥威尔式” （Orwellian）、“奥威尔主义”（Orwellism）这样的通用词汇，不断出现在报道国际新闻的记者笔下，足见其作品在英语国家影响之深远。
