Nineteen Eighty-Four is often referred to as one of the definitive texts of modern dystopian literature. Written in 1948,the book serves as a powerful warning against totalitarian regimes and extreme political ideologies. The pitfalls of a totalitarian regime are symbolized by "Big Brother" an over arching figure that dictates the lives of the citizens of Oceania. Orwell penned this novel at a critical time in history, when a rise in totalitarian states had culminated in world war II.

A pull of the lever and the machine sends him to the year 802,701, when humanity has split into two bizarre races-the ethereal Eloi and the subterranean Morlocks.
