Abstract
Background: Born in 1903 and died in 1950, Eric Arthur Blair, better known by the pen name George Orwell, was a British writer of Indian origin. Aim: to analyze the ideas of Orwell in the book 1984 and reflect on their similarities with the present. Methods: reading and interpretation of a futuristic dystopia published initially in 1949. Reflection and search for parallels with the present (2022). Results and Discussion With the decline of a society based on solid moral values and fact-based science, perhaps Orwell will come to be regarded as a seer or prophet, the similarities of the book 1984 with 2022 are tremendous and appalling. Conclusions: society control can be achieved by various means, and control of the thought process is fundamental.
