The year 1984 is finally upon us, and George Orewll's prophetic, nightmare vision in 1949 of the world we were becoming is timelier than ever. 1984 is still the great modern classic of "Negative Utopia" -- a startlingly original and powerful novel that creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing, from the first sentence to the last four words. --back cover
