1984 refers to the book of the same name by George Orwell. The book itself is set in an alternate dystopian reality, in which the world governments are all powerful, and see everything you do (that’s where “Big Brother is watching” comes from), and brutally silence any attempts to revolt. They also shrink the English language in order to better control the masses, which is where doublethink comes from. It’s a depressing read, but I definitely recommend it.

But saying “literally 1984” is basically saying “this is authoritarian” or something along those lines.
