I've somewhat accidentally started reading a lot of cult dystopian novels lately - Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451 - if you've read either of those two, 1984 is a lot heavier. Torture and authoritarianism are a lot more prominent - whilst BNW is a little more concerned with manufactured life, 451 more concerned with censorship.

But yeah - big impact on culture. Big Brother, Room 101, "is watching you"... V For Vendetta is pretty much sustained off its synopsis.
