Abstract

A little over seventy years ago, George Orwell published one of the most influential works of science fiction in the history of literature. The work, entitled 1984, tells the story of Winston Smith, a petty civil servant living in a society controlled and monitored by Big Brother. The year, probably nobody knows for sure, is 1984; the city, London; the country, Oceania. In this fictional world, in this dystopia, social revolution has triumphed in the West. The revolution has been established as a way of life and now controls and guards everything so that the revolutionary spirit remains intact. Through intricate and intrusive strategies, omnipresent mechanisms of control, the annihilation of all private space, even in mind and language, Big Brother, The Party and the entire state apparatus keep at bay any kind of heresy, any kind of rebellion.
