1949. George Orwell finishes 1984, which will be his final but most important novel. Orwell: 2+2=5 delves deep into his final months and visionary works to explore the roots of the vital and troubling concepts he revealed to the world in his dystopian masterpiece – Doublethink, Thoughtcrime, Newspeak, the omnipresent spectre of Big Brother – disturbing sociopolitical truths that resonate even more powerfully today.
