1984

For the first half century after its publication, Orwell's dystopia 1984 was perceived as a vicious satire on communist regimes.
But, alas, the prophetic details of the world of "1984" are becoming more and more the reality of the modern decommunized world.
Fantastic realities, invented by George Orwell for Britain in 1984, have long been included in the cultural code of modern man, dependent on global corporations, social networks and media: "Big Brother is watching you", "thought crime", "newspeak", "freedom is slavery ". For example, a resident of a modern large city is deprived of privacy, falling into the field of view of CCTV cameras several times a day: for example, in London there are more than 600,000 of them, one for every 14 inhabitants; on average, each Londoner is recorded about 300 times a day.
Along with Yevgeny Zamyatin's Us (1920), Aldous Huxley's Brave New World (1932), and Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 (1953), 1984 is considered a cult classic of dystopia.
