Cross-media recommendations across film, TV, games, books & music — picked by taste.

Nineteen Eighty-Four is a dystopian novel by George Orwell, published in 1949, centred on the consequences of totalitarianism and mass surveillance. Orwell modelled the authoritarian government on Stalinist Russia, but the novel's concerns reach further: the manipulation of truth and historical record, the regimentation of thought and behaviour, and what space — if any — remains for private life when a state claims total authority. These picks share that territory.
