1 George Orwell’s fiction has been prescient, invoked

to describe the ills of nearly every age. 1984 has repeatedly

topped English-language bestseller lists, including in 1954

4 (the year the BBC did a television adaptation), 1984 and

2003 (the centenary of Orwell’s birth). Political events bring

Orwell new readers, including Donald Trump’s inauguration

7 in 2017 and fomenting of the riot at America’s Capitol in

2021. After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last year, 1984

became the most-downloaded electronic fiction book in

10 Russia. It is thus no surprise that in 2023, with fears of

autocracy and intense culture wars, the man who wrote so

12 skilfully about dark subjects is back in the spotlight.
