The year is 1984.
It is a time of great change, when the government—a totalitarian government—has taken control of society, and all citizens are subject to its rules and regulations.
But there are those who oppose this system, and they’re willing to take action against it. They’re called “thought criminals” by their enemies, and they’re hunted down by the police force known as “the Thought Police.”
They may be able to escape for a time, but eventually they will be found and arrested, where they’ll surely face torture or death at the hands of their captors.
This is the world that George Orwell created in his novel 1984. And it’s why this book has been banned from schools across America—because it challenges everything we think we know about our country’s system of government!
