1984 — Book in a Minute by Kisa George Orwell’s 1984 is a dystopian novel about a totalitarian state where the government controls everything — even thoughts. People are watched by Big Brother, history is rewritten daily, and independent thinking is a crime. The story follows Winston Smith, who tries to rebel against the system, but learns how absolute power breaks both truth and the human spirit. #book #explain
