    2021 Facsimile of the 1949 Edition.  Nineteen Eighty-Four: A Novel, often published as 1984, is Orwells famed dystopian novel originally published in 1949 by Secker & Warburg as Orwells ninth and final book completed in his lifetime. Thematically, Nineteen Eighty-Four is concerned with the consequences of totalitarianism, mass surveillance, and repressive regimentation of all persons and behaviors within society. Orwell, himself a democratic socialist, modeled the authoritarian government in the novel after Stalinist Russia. More broadly, the novel examines the role of truth and facts within politics and the ways in which they are manipulated. Nineteen Eighty-Four has become a classic literary example of political and dystopian fiction. It also popularized the term Orwellian as an adjective, with many terms used in the novel entering common usage, including Big Brother, doublethink, thoughtcrime, Newspeak, memory hole, 2 + 2 = 5, proles, Two Minutes Hate, telescreen, and Room 101. Time included it on its 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to 2005.  It was placed on the Modern Librarys 100 Best Novels, reaching No. 13 on the editors list and No. 6 on the readers list.  In 2003, the novel was listed at No. 8 on The Big Read survey by the BBC.
