Political Thriller Fiction

Publicado em 1949, o texto de Orwell nasceu destinado à polêmica. Traduzido em mais de sessenta países, virou minissérie, filmes, quadrinhos, mangás e até uma ópera. Ganhou holofotes em 1999, quando uma produtora holandesa batizou seu reality show de Big Brother. 1984 foi responsável pela popularização de muitos termos e conceitos, como Grande Irmão, duplopensar, novidioma, e buraco da memória. O trabalho de Winston, o herói de 1984, é reescrever artigos de jornais do passado, de modo que o registro histórico sempre apoie a ideologia do Partido.

The president was arrested and eventually died in prison, or so everyone was led to believe. America was rebooted in a new progressive/socialist image, Newmerica.
