Orwell's masterpiece feels increasingly relevant in our data-driven age. The concepts of thoughtcrime, doublethink, and the ever-watching Big Brother serve as powerful metaphors for modern surveillance culture.\n\nWhile written in 1949, the book's warnings about language manipulation, historical revisionism, and privacy invasion resonate strongly with current concerns about social media, data collection, and algorithmic control.
