A dystopian political novel set in Oceania, a totalitarian state ruled through surveillance, propaganda and the rewriting of history. Winston Smith works at the Ministry of Truth but begins to question the Party’s control over language, memory and private thought. His quiet rebellion explores truth, individual freedom and the cost of resisting a system that seeks to control reality itself.
