Orwellian
george orwell, early writer of science fiction.
a narrative or prophesy of events caused by political manipulation, characterised by impersonality and suspicion, and especially by an almost savagely comical dissembling that prevents serious challenge to them on logical grounds.
“the minister’s intent, while not exactly machiavellian, is at least orwellian.
i might describe it as gibsonian, but this scheme would result in troubles that would not be mere circ-mstance, but the work of beaurocratic design.”
a bureaucracy that has become stupid and turns on its citizens to protect its stupidity.
also used to describe coded language and terms with multiple meanings used by governments or media.
that is orwellian.
