Anthony Burgess's novel "1985" is a work inspired by George Orwell's "1984," published originally in 1978. Burgess intended it as both a tribute and a critique of Orwell's dystopian vision. The novel combines sharp analysis with elements of dark humor and a terrifying portrayal of a future society. It explores themes of surveillance, totalitarianism, and the loss of individual freedom, much like Orwell's classic work
