3. SCULPTURE ON PAPER

SUBJECT: DEAR MR. ORWELL

Description:

1984 by George Orwell is a 1949 English novel about life under a futuristic authoritarian regime in the year 1984.

It tells the story of a man, a functionary at the Ministry of Truth, whose work consists of editing historical accounts to fit the government's policies. Smith is degraded and psychologically tortured after he is arrested by the Thought Police under the instruction of the totalitarian government of Oceania.

The book has major significance for its vision of an all-knowing government which uses pervasive and constant surveillance of the populace, insidious and blatant propaganda, and brutal control over its citizens. The book had a substantial impact both in literature and on the perception of public surveillance, inspiring such terms as "Big Brother" and "Orwellian" and becoming part of our popular culture.

Do you find any similarity between Orwell’s dystopia and our contemporary society?
