1984, Brave New World, Animal Farm :

George Orwell, a writer deeply concerned with social justice and the corrupting influence of power, authored two of the most iconic and influential works of the 20th century: 1984 and Animal Farm. Though distinct in their storytelling, both novels explore totalitarianism, manipulation, and the dangers of unchecked authority.

In 1984, Orwell thrusts readers into a dystopian future where the omnipresent Party, led by the mysterious Big Brother, controls every facet of life. The protagonist, Winston Smith, battles against an oppressive regime that eradicates individuality, rewrites history, and criminalizes independent thought. Orwell’s portrayal of a society under constant surveillance, where even one's innermost thoughts can be punished, serves as a chilling cautionary tale about the abuse of power and the erosion of personal freedoms.

Animal Farm, by contrast, uses a satirical fable to critique the rise of totalitarianism. On a farm where the animals overthrow their human owner to create a fair and equal society, the pigs gradually seize power, ultimately becoming indistinguishable from the tyrants they replaced. The famous line, "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others," encapsulates Orwell's warning about the corrupting nature of power and the betrayal of revolutionary ideals

Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World transports listeners to a futuristic society where technological advancements and genetic engineering have eliminated conflict, but at the cost of individuality, emotion, and freedom. In this seemingly utopian world, people are conditioned from birth to conform, pleasure is chemically induced, and dissent is eradicated. Through the eyes of the disillusioned outsider, Bernard Marx, and the "savage" John, Huxley explores the dangers of losing humanity in the pursuit of stability and control.
