1984 by George Orwell.
About the BookAbout the AuthorPublished in the summer of 1949, George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four is one of the most definitive texts of modern literature.

As much as it is an entertaining read, Nineteen Eighty-Four is also a brilliant, and more importantly, a timeless satirical attack on the social and political structures of the world.
