Back in 1949, when George Orwell published "1984," this was the dystopian future he imagined. Now, it seems like Orwell wasn't just a creative novelist. He was prophetic. The world we currently live in features all of these dark realities.
The British publisher Folio Society released a new limited edition of "1984," partnering with design studio La Boca. The illustrations, fonts, and layout reference vintage propaganda with a modern twist, prompting reflection on recurring historical dystopian themes.
Folio Society, founded in 1947 amid the aftermath of WWII, believed in the healing power of beautifully illustrated literature. CEO Joanna Reynolds focuses on gathering customer insights, making '1984' a fitting choice with themes resonating in today's headlines.
