What year did the sci-fi book “1984” come out? It came out in 1949. George Orwell’s novel, formally titled Nineteen Eighty-Four, was first published in Britain on June 8, 1949, by Secker & Warburg. The American edition followed on June 13, 1949, from Harcourt Brace.

The book imagines the year 1984 as a near future dominated by totalitarian government, mass surveillance, propaganda, and control of language. Its protagonist, Winston Smith, works at altering historical records while secretly questioning the Party’s version of reality. Concepts and terms from the novel, including Big Brother, Newspeak, thoughtcrime, and Room 101, entered everyday political and cultural vocabulary.

A common mix-up is assuming the book was published in 1984 because of its title. Orwell was writing in the late 1940s, and the title points to the fictional future in which the story occurs. The novel was his ninth and final completed book, following Animal Farm, which appeared in 1945.
