1984

The classic dystopian novel 1984, written by English author George Orwell was first published June 8th, 1949. The image above is of the the book's very first cover, since redone, and reprinted many, many times.

The book itself has had a huge impact in my opinion on modern pop culture, and even our language. It has been twice adapted to the cinema and radio, three times for television, and once to the stage.
