1984th

The number 1984 is most famously recognized as the title of George Orwell's dystopian novel, published in 1949. The novel, set in a totalitarian society, explores themes of surveillance, government control, and the manipulation of truth. The year 1984 itself serves as the setting for the narrative, depicting a world dominated by "Big Brother" and the Party. Orwell's work has had a profound cultural impact, with terms like "Big Brother," "thoughtcrime," and "Orwellian" becoming common parlance to describe oppressive political systems and pervasive surveillance. The year 1984 was anticipated by many as a significant marker, partly due to the novel's influence, though the reality of that year did not mirror the fictional dystopia. Beyond its literary significance, 1984 is simply a cardinal number, following 1983 and preceding 1985. It is an even integer and a composite number. Its prime factorization is 2^3 * 3 * 11 * 23. In various contexts, such as dates or numerical sequences, 1984 functions as a standard numerical value.
