Written 75 years ago, 1984 was George Orwell’s chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come and gone, his dystopian vision of a government that will do anything to control the narrative is timelier than ever.
This special 75th Anniversary Edition arrives with thoughtful new perspectives: an introduction by Dolen Perkins-Valdez, whose novel Take My Hand won the 2023 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work—Fiction, and an afterword by Sandra Newman, author of Julia: A Retelling of George Orwell’s 1984. These fresh voices illuminate why Orwell’s masterwork continues to resonate across generations.
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
Winston Smith works at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history to satisfy the Party’s demands. With each lie he pens, his hatred grows for a regime that seeks power for its own sake and persecutes anyone who dares commit thoughtcrimes. But as Winston begins to think for himself, he can’t escape one inescapable fact: Big Brother is always watching.
From its first page to its devastating conclusion, 1984 creates a world that feels unnervingly real. Its hold on our collective imagination hasn’t lessened with time—if anything, its warnings have grown more urgent. Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read, this is essential reading for anyone who believes that the truth still matters.
A book that belongs on every shelf, especially now.
