Published in 1949 by George Orwell, 1984 is a dystopian novel that portrays a totalitarian society ruled by the Party and its omnipresent leader, Big Brother. The story follows Winston Smith, a government employee whose job is to alter historical records to match the Party’s version of reality. Living in a world of constant surveillance, censorship, and propaganda, Winston begins to question the system and seeks to preserve his freedom of thought. The novel explores themes such as political oppression, social control, manipulation of truth, and the consequences of unchecked power.
The animation was inspired by several key elements of 1984, particularly the themes of constant surveillance, information control, and the restriction of individual freedom. Its visual style and narrative draw from the novel’s oppressive atmosphere, the presence of monitoring systems, and the influence of authority over people's actions and beliefs. These concepts were adapted into a contemporary audiovisual format, helping to communicate the book’s central ideas in an engaging and accessible way.
