Nineteen Eighty-Four is set in a dystopian future where the world is divided into three superpowers constantly at war with each other. The story takes place in Oceania, specifically in London (now called Airstrip One). The totalitarian government, known as the Party, controls every aspect of life through propaganda, surveillance, and the manipulation of language and history.

The protagonist Winston Smith is a member of the Outer Party who works at the Ministry of Truth rewriting historical records to fit the Party's version of events. He secretly hates the Party and dreams of rebellion, even though such thoughts are considered thoughtcrime.

Winston begins a forbidden love affair with Julia and secretly joins the Brotherhood, a rebel group working to overthrow the Party. However, they are eventually arrested, interrogated and tortured by the Thought Police.
