   Did Orwell write '1980'?

   • But the manuscript of the book undermines this claim. Orwell originally typed the year Winston struggles to recall as “1980”. Over this, presumably later (given that Orwell wrote it in ink), he crossed out “1980” and replaced it with “1982”. He then, possibly later still, crosses out “1982” and again in ink wrote “1984”.

   Was Orwell wrong about 1984?

   • When the real world in 1984 proved to be very different from the fictional world of Nineteen Eighty-Four, some critics sniped that the prophecy and the reality were fundamentally at odds. Orwell, they reckoned, was wrong. In fact, of course, the correct title was rendered not as a year, but as words. Why might this difference matter?

   Is '1984' a dystopia?

   • The dystopia described in George Orwell’s nearly 70-year-old novel “1984” suddenly feels all too familiar. A world in which Big Brother (or maybe the National Security Agency) is always listening in, and high-tech devices can eavesdrop in people’s homes. (Hey, Alexa, what’s up?)

   Did Winston write the year '1984' in his diary?

   • Winston writes the year “1984” in his diary (although he is uncertain of the actual year), so it is not a question of getting the year wrong. But words “Nineteen Eighty-Four” suggest a state of affairs rather than a particular historical moment. When we compare our current world to Orwell’s scenario, we do not think of Bob Hawke and bad haircuts.
