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.
