Special Containment Procedures: George Orwell's estate must be seized at all costs. After this, publication of SCP-1984-J will be halted indefinitely. Copies of SCP-1984-J will be gathered by MTF-δ-9184 ("The Overspecifics"), whereafter they are to be incinerated.

Simultaneously with these efforts, latent C-Class amnestics are to be released by air throughout the planet. Once all copies of SCP-1984-J have been destroyed, these amnestics are to be activated, permanently eliminating any memory of SCP-1984-J from human consciousness.

Description: SCP-1984-J is the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, by English author George Orwell. SCP-1984-J tells the story of a hypothetical dystopia in which independent thought is criminalized and an unseen character called "Big Brother" is worshipped as a dictator.

SCP-1984-J compels people who are aware of it to compare any use of control or power to the dystopia portrayed in Orwell's work, no matter how absurd of a comparison this may be. Consult Addendum 1 for more information.

While no individual appears entirely immune to this effect, individuals who have actually read SCP-1984-J seem much less susceptible.
