Winston Smith quietly drinks himself after the finale of "1984". But he is offered another job, and his life will never be the same. This setting's excessive seriousness definitely kills at the introductory stage. Fierce mad cranberry both in letter and in spirit while remaining faithful to the dystopian genre. Crazy world, moderately adequate characters, smart and not over-pumped main character. Serious criticism is not necessary, on-topic banter is encouraged. As of January 1, 2021, all six novels and a number of other works by George Orwell published during his lifetime have entered the public domain. Therefore, my humble fanfic does not violate copyright. Author's notes: Here in the world of totalitarianism there is a Shadow Side Where people can live well when there is a war going on around them. Here they wander through dungeons, here they cross the Rubicon. It is impossible to stay here once you have broken the law. And our main character On the first line is an employee of the Ministry of Truth and chess player Comrade Smith.
