About this listen

George Orwell's nightmare vision of a dystopian world has become more apt in these modern, chaotic times. Casting a pall of oppressive dread from the very first sentence, this classic audiobook takes hold of your imagination and stays with you long after the last four words are uttered.

Big Brother is watching you....

1984 is the year in which it happens. The world is divided into three superstates. In Oceania, the Party’s power is absolute. Every action, word, gesture and thought is monitored under the watchful eye of Big Brother and the Thought Police. In the Ministry of Truth, the Party’s department for propaganda, Winston Smith’s job is to edit the past. Over time, the impulse to escape the machine and live independently takes hold of him and he embarks on a secret and forbidden love affair. As he writes the words ‘DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER’, his personal rebellion begins....

George Orwell’s masterpiece is the definitive dystopian novel and one of the most influential works of the twentieth century.

Critic Reviews

"I read it again, and again...right up there among my favourite books." (Margaret Atwood, Guardian)
"My favourite book is 1984... More relevant to today than almost any other book that you can think of." (Jo Brand)
"His final masterpiece...enthralling and indispensable for understanding modern history." (New York Review of Books)
All stars
Most relevant


One of the panelists while discussing Artificial Intelligence on BBB Television Program said recently, “If we use AI recklessly, George Orwell’s dystopian 1984 will be a reality in 2024.” Rereading this classic political fiction reinforces that.

A Compelling Story Complete Control

The narrator had done a great job in keeping us captivated. The story seems very relevant for the current day when every movement of ours can be tracked and where we are just one crazy authoritarian government away from turning our world into the fictionalized world of 1984.

Although seemed like a work of fiction, George Orwell must have seen the future. A haunting and terrifying tale, beautifully written & narrated. The last sentence of the book sent a chill down my spine.

I doubt in 1984 people could relate to it but in 2020 with our phones listening and tracking us, it seems George Orwell did a great prophetic job.

the reason for 4 stars is cause it's just a narration of a dystopian future on and on and on. after sometime it was like ok i get it, can there be some drama. there was a little drama when Winston met Julia but it hardly felt something will happen. just kept the same darkness and monotone (not narration but story) all the way to the end.
feeling depressed after hearing it.

very dark and dystopian
