  • This work aims to discuss theories and analyze concepts, since it assumes that it is also important to carry out this type of interpretive research methodologies within Library and Information Sciences. In a particular way, the research uses Luciano Floridi's Information Ethics model as a specialized theoretical framework on problems related to information from a moral dimension, which allows evaluating and reviewing the concept of information itself, along with other aspects of the informational problem, but always from an integrating perspective. Thus, this research consists of an interpretation of George Orwell's novel 1984 from the concepts of Floridi's Information Ethics, understood as macroethics, in which he rethinks the three dimensions of information, as a resource-product- objective, and proposes their unification and interaction in the Infosphere, but also recognizes that any action that negatively affects the Infosphere as a whole can increase the level of entropy. The thesis supports, as a general result, the importance of individual freedom as an indispensable condition for the creation and transmission of reliable and truthful information that contributes to the knowledge of reality, and considers the idea that the presence of free and well-informed strengthens a democratic system and enriches the Infosphere. The basic idea is that citizens should defend democracy, because this type of government aims to safeguard their fundamental rights, such as the right to life, liberty, security, privacy, freedom of opinion and of expression, free access to information, etc., and this type of recognition and defense of rights would hardly occur in authoritarian governments.
