1984
Signet
1984 is a novel by George Orwell. This Great English Novel discusses: the devastating effects of an authoritarian society, where thoughtcrime is illegal--with alienation and loneliness mixed in. Dreams are never realized; hopes are dashed; and passion is meaningless (never destined to last; twisted and subverted in the end).
