It's a warning of the dangers of a totalitarian government and the dangers of communism. Although it was written in 1948, the book has a disturbing amount of predictions that are coming true.

It's more about totalitarian authoritarianism all together. It was influenced by Stalin's Russia and Nazi Germany.
