The cover is the iris and pupil of an eye concentrated straight ahead as if staring directly at whomever holds the book in their hands. The question is...

What does this cover mean?
obviously it means you are being watched.
Directly inside the cover on the first page lies a brief description of the author and the man who wrote the afterword on the back cover.
An afterword left on the back cover by Erich Fromm briefly explains the atmosphere of the novel. Fromm describes the vibe saying, "George Orwell's prophetic, nightmarish vision in 1949 of the world we were becoming is timelier than ever." I probably should have waited to read the afterword after I read the novel (which i usually do), but this time i found no major spoilers that were not already obvious from discussion in class, so no harm done.
