Answer:

George Orwell's 1984 was evidently intended as a satire. The main target of satire in this novel is totalitarianism as, in Orwell's opinion, it would take shape in the future. Nineteen Eighty-Four is an anti-Utopian novel, and it pokes fun at the bright visions of the future which some writers are inclined to see.
