1984 by George Orwell.

I read it years ago, and it's every bit as depressing, frightening and brilliant as I remember it. Maybe more so. The concepts of Doublespeak, Thought Police, and of course "Big Brother is Watching You" have stuck with me over the years, but I had completely forgotten about Two Minutes Hate and Facecrime. Damn, just damn.
