This dystopia was coined after the work of George Orwell. An Orwellian dystopia is, by most, considered one of the more popular dystopias to be written about in modern times. This kind of dystopia denotes an attitude and a brutal policy of draconian control by propaganda, surveillance, disinformation, denial of truth - usually by some form of governing body or central government. It is also characterised by manipulation of the past to shape a desirable future or to erase atrocities. It also includes the construct of the "unperson"—a person whose past atrocity is idealised from the public record and memory, and in some dystopian texts this is taken further by being practised by repressive government entities or governing bodies.
