Más información sobre el libro

In 1984, London is the chief city of Airstrip One, under the oppressive regime of IngSoc and Big Brother. Julia Worthing, a mechanic in the Fiction Department at the Ministry of Truth, appears to be a model citizen—cynical yet compliant, she navigates life under constant surveillance while secretly indulging in her desires. A member of the Junior Anti-Sex League, Julia adeptly balances her rebellious nature with the demands of the Party. Her life takes a turn when she becomes intrigued by Winston Smith, a mid-level Outer Party worker, after witnessing his interaction with a superior during the Two Minutes Hate. In a moment of impulsive defiance, she hands him a note, realizing that she is losing her ability to remain undetected in a world filled with Thought Police, Newspeak, and child spies. Seventy-five years after Orwell's original work, Sandra Newman presents a compelling feminist narrative that reimagines the world of Big Brother. This provocative companion novel offers a fresh perspective for those familiar with Orwell's iconic tale, delivering a vital and satisfying exploration of survival and resistance in a dystopian society.
