George Orwell’s 1984 is often seen as a warning about a distant dystopian future, but its themes resonate deeply with today’s world. The book presents a society where truth is manipulated, language is weaponized, and individuality is systematically crushed. Reading the novel made me reflect on how similar mechanisms operate in our society today—how misinformation spreads, how people conform to dominant narratives, and how ethical considerations can be obscured by systemic control. This reflection explores three key themes from 1984 and their relevance in our modern world: Newspeak as a tool of oppression, the struggle for individual integrity, and the suppression of truth.
