Orwell’s 1984 now comes with ‘trigger warning’.
Author has been convicted of ‘thought crimes’ he warned about in
novel, critic complains.
07 June 2025

In 1984, citizens of the superstate Oceania are punished for
subversive thoughts by the Thought Police.
Now, in a real-world twist, the estate that oversees Orwell’s literary
legacy stands accused of ideological policing.

“We’re getting somebody to actually convict George Orwell himself of
thought crime in the introduction to his book about thought crime,”
said Walter Kirn, a novelist and critic, on America This Week, a
podcast hosted by journalist Matt Taibbi.

“We’re not yet in a world where books and classic books are being
excised or eliminated,” Kirn added, but warned that the Orwell
estate-approved edition of 1984 had been “published with an apology
for itself”.
