Transcript 1984

• When George Orwell wrote 1984, the year that gives
the book its title was still almost 40 years in the
future.
• Some of the things Orwell imagined that would come
to pass were the telescreen, a TV that observes those
who are watching it, and a world consisting of three
megastates rather than hundreds of countries.
• In the novel, the country of Eastasia apparently
consists of China and its satellite nations; Eurasia is
the Soviet Union; and Oceania comprises the United
States, the United Kingdom, and their allies.
