520    A world where every human right has been violated and 
       every notion of freedom and individuality is abolished. A 
       world where Big Brother monitors everything through 
       advanced technology devices. A world where the war against
       an invisible enemy never ends, thoughts go underground and
       any deviation from the dictates of the regime is punished 
       relentlessly until it is "corrected". A world where those 
       in power have the power to alter the past and deny the 
       self-existence of reality, a world where language and its 
       words change to keep up with the new A verified dystopian 
       vision in the form of a novel, 1984, one of those few 
       works that have accurately defined their century, 
       continues to warn us more than seventy years after its 
       publication that totalitarianism, with all its mass of 
       illusions, knows no measure or limit, nor does it belong 
       definitively to the past. The book was published just 
       seven months before the author's death from tuberculosis 
       in January 1950. Apart from the futuristic environment 
       described (and which was twice adapted for the cinema, in 
       1956 and 1984, without great success on both occasions, 
       despite Sir Richard Burton's participation in the latter),
       apart from its apt predictions about mass surveillance, 
       the nature of authoritarian regimes and the levelling out 
       of any notion of difference, what is even more striking 
       are the neologisms that remain handy to this day: Terms 
       such as "Big Brother", "Thought Police", "SexCrime" and 
       the famous "Cold War" - which he himself coined a few 
       years ago - are not only used daily, but are so apt that 
       one wonders how a human mind could have conceived them a 
       full seven decades ago. ..
