As literary science fiction, Nineteen Eighty-Four is a classic novel of the social science fiction sub-genre, the terms and concepts of Big Brother, doublethink, thoughtcrime, Newspeak, Memory hole et cetera, became contemporary vernacular, including the adjective Orwellian, denoting George Orwell’s writings and totalitarianism as exposited in Nineteen Eighty-Four. George Orwell has mastered the art of writing, and dystopian societies so much so that even now days there is a sense of science fiction and relevants to our society.
