George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949) remains a book of the moment. This Companion
builds on successive waves of generational inheritance and debate in the novel's reception
by asking new questions about how and why Nineteen Eighty-Four was written, what it
means, and why it matters. Chapters on a selection of the novel's interpretative contexts,
the literary histories from which it is inseparable, the urgent questions it raises,
and the impact it has had on other kinds of media, ranging from radio to video games,
open up the conversation in an expansive way. Established concerns (e.g. Orwell's
attitude to the working class, his anxieties about the socio-political compartmentalization
of the post-war world) are presented alongside newer ones (e.g. his views on evil,
and the influence of Nineteen Eighty-Four on comics). Individual essays help us see
in new ways how Orwell's most famous work continues to be a novel for our times
