George Orwell - 1984

 

1984 es una de las obras más importantes de la ciencia-ficción, y clave dentro del subgénero de la ficción distópica. Su titulo es debido al año en el que está ambientada. Y aunque pueda parecer extraño, es una novela futurista ya que fue escrita a finales de los 40.
 
Ambientada en la Inglaterra de este hipotético 1984, en una sociedad absolutista-comunista, dirigida por el todopoderoso Gran Hermano. El lider del Partido, que todo lo ve. Literalmente. De hecho, el nombre del famosos reality show está cogido de esta novela. En las calles, e incluso en las casas de cada persona hay “telepantallas” que controlan cada movimiento. Y el mínimo indicio de actividad extraña supondría una visita de la Policia del Pensamiento… Incluso las noticias del pasado se modifican para que encajen con  la realidad del presente.
 
En este contexto vive Winston Smith, una persona que tiene vagos recuerdos de tiempos mejores, y que siente que algo no encaja. Algo no funciona como debería en esa sociedad, en la que todos adoran ciegamente al Partido. 
 
Orwell crea en este libro un ambiente extraordinariamente opresivo, al que se le añade un realismo que te hace pensar que esta sociedad podría existir realmente. Quizás por esto mucha gente se niega a encuadrar el libro en el genero de la ciencia-ficción. En cualquier caso, una lectura obligada, tanto por lo entretenido de la novela, como por las profundas reflexiones que pueden realizarse una vez concluída.
