What will happen if the ideas of fascism and dictatorship spread among the ruling circles? What will the social order be like if the government demands unwavering obedience? What catastrophe will such a regime lead to? In the state of Oceania, citizens have no rights, which means that the power of the party is absolute. The heroes' daily lives take place in conditions of fear and constant upheaval. Freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of choice, freedom of love and even freedom of thought are crossed out here. It is impossible to disturb the order, because Big Brother is watching everyone. The horrors of the crimes of the state machine were recorded by George Orwell in his main work, 1984. This novel-warning about the dangers of totalitarianism became one of the most famous dystopias of the 20th century, which stands in the same row with Zamyatin's We, Huxley's Brave New World and Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451.
