George Orwell's 1984 is set in an apocalyptic post-war London of 1984.
Orwell may have chosen the date because the book was published in 1948 (last two digits of the year reversed), though it is also possible that a take-off point for the tale was G K Chesterton's The Napoleon of Notting Hill.
Chesterton's tale is also based in an apocalyptic future where the world is deliberately kept permanently at war as a means of exerting social control. (Chesterton sees this as a good thing). Chesterton's book was published in 1904, and is set 'eighty years from today'.
