George Orwell's vision of a dark future.. 1984 is a great modern
classic of "Negative Utopia"—a startlingly original and haunting novel
that creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing, from the
first sentence to the last four words. No one can deny this novel's power,
its hold on the imagination .of whole generations, or the power of its
admonitions—a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of
time.
