"Orwellianism" refers to the political and social ideas derived from the works of author George Orwell, particularly his novel 1984. It describes a society characterized by oppressive government control, surveillance, and the manipulation of truth. In such a society, language is often distorted to limit freedom of thought, a concept known as "Newspeak." The term also highlights the dangers of totalitarianism, where individual rights are suppressed, and dissent is punished. Orwellianism serves as a warning about the potential consequences of unchecked power and the erosion of personal freedoms in the name of security or ideology.
