1984 by George Orwell: A searchable online version at The Literature Network
I believe Orwell wrote this book as a warning of what the world might be like in the future if the totalatarian goverments of his time were not met with opposition.

The organizers of the Los Angeles Olympics, Chief Executive Officer Peter Ueberroth and Chief Operating Officer Harry Usher, were able to produce a profit of over $200 million.

All of these states are in a constant state of war with one another, yet all are self contained, and require no trade with one another, and therefor do not require war as a means of economical necessity.

 Orwell's 1984: Was Orwell Right?
If there is another world war, the victors will once again write the history books and cowardly court historians, acting as thought police, will ensure that the history of the war is not objective.
Attempts by law enforcement agencies to obtain more information through informer schemes, through new law enforcement agencies, and through new techniques such as computerization of information, are understandable, but the cumulative effect of such Big Brother activities is to make countries such as the United States, Britain and Australia increasingly totalitarian societies.
The powers of security police in Western countries to intercept mail and tap phones have often been extended, police agencies keep numerous files on law-abiding citizens, and more and more public officials have the right to enter private homes without a warrant.

 Book Review of 1984.
One year before his death in 1950, George Orwell published a book entitled 1984.
1984’s main character is Winston Smith, a man who doubts the righteousness of the totalitarian government (Big Brother) that rules Oceania, one of three superstates in the world of 1984.

 1984 Summary
Though a world war had just been fought to squelch the tyranny of a Totalitarian regime, Orwell warned that the world was yet heading towards just such a political system.
Written in 1948 and published the year following, 1984 (the year-numbers were transposed) has provoked discussion and controversy ever since.
Orwell's novel was intended as an urgent warning that political decisions in the near future could create a brutally stifled society of "Newspeak" (where words are so abstracted from events and actions that they take on their exact opposite meaning) and "Doublethink" (the power to hold two contradictory ideas simultaneously).

1984 also opened up the floodgates for many faceless, identical pop-metal bands (something VH was the complete opposite of), who suddenly realized that adding synths to heavy metal could increase their chances of commercial success.
Eddie Van Halen's guest appearance on Michael Jackson's massive 1983 hit "Beat It" introduced VH to the pop audience, which the band attracted in droves with this expertly crafted set of hard rock with pop leanings, not to mention its imaginative accompanying videos.
Unfortunately, the album would be the last Van Halen recording to feature David Lee Roth, who surprisingly left in 1985 at the height of the band's popularity.
