Orwellian

What is Orwellian?


1.

George Orwell, early writer of science fiction.

A narrative or prophesy of events caused by political manipulation, characterised by impersonality and suspicion, and especially by an almost savagely comical dissembling that prevents serious challenge to them on logical grounds.

"The minister's intent, while not exactly Machiavellian, is at least Orwellian.

I might describe it as Gibsonian, but this scheme would result in troubles that would not be mere circumstance, but the work of beaurocratic design."
