Orwellian adj.
"Orwellian" is an adjective describing the situation, idea, or societal condition that George Orwell identified as being destructive to the welfare of a free and open society. It connotes an attitude and a brutal policy of draconian control by propaganda, surveillance, misinformation, denial of truth, and manipulation of the past, including the "unperson" – a person whose past existence is expunged from the public record and memory, practised by modern repressive governments. Often, this includes the circumstances depicted in his novels, particularly Nineteen Eighty-Four.
George Orwell喬治歐威爾,英國諷刺小說家及散文家,以其著作「動物農莊」及「一九八四」而享譽全球。而Orwellian則是形容詞「歐威爾風格的」,因喬治歐威爾是個以文筆銳利、深刻洞察與驚人想像力對獨裁政治、恐怖極權主義及人類未來前途展現淋漓盡致的剖析而著名的作家。因此這個字通常用在形容政治獨裁者和恐怖及戰爭等政客或是社會亂像上。
