I like this one. most people know the significance of that number.
Forgive me for my ignorance but I know little about it. I know the year was significant and there was a book written. Orwell I think? Something like that. But please point me to where I can find mor about this number. I’m intrigued. Thanks fren
I'm sure others can fill this out more than I can.
Whether or not there is an existing particular symbolic significance of the number 1984 is uncertain to me, there could be.
Other than that, 1984 is the year that the book was set, although is was written in the mid forties and modelled on the Soviet and maybe the Nazis totalitarian regimes. In this year of the novel the protagonist Winston Smith finds himself becoming aware that he lives in an extremely dystopian world which is full of gaslighting and brainwashing techniques which maintain inversion and relative truths in everyone's mind which they are not allowed to question. This world is backed up by secret police and psychological torture to bring people who start to question, back to the program.
The thing is, everyone, both "left" and "right" thinks that 1984 would be a bad environment to live in. so it's a good rallying point. What the left don't realise is that their political structure leads to 1984 and that in many ways, it's here already.
The wikipedia entry is not a bad start (ironically)

For full disclosure, I haven't read the novel, I've never been able to face it.
Thanks. I didn’t know if there were more significance to the number than that book or if we were talking about the book itself. You know, I need to one day read it as well. I’ve studied documentaries on it but as you, I find it very creepy and just like anything from Crowley, I fear what it might do to my spirit.
I am not an avid book reader but I did read it and I couldn't put it down until I finished. Go get a HARD copy.
