The relevant quote, as referring to Winston Smith early in George Orwell’s work:
He sat back. A sense of complete helplessness had descended upon him. To begin with, he did not know with any certainty that this was 1984. It must be round about that date, since he was fairly sure that his age was thirty-nine, and he believed that he had been born in 1944 or 1945; but it was never possible nowadays to pin down any date within a year or two.
Playing along with this clue at home, my thought process was definitely “1944 or 1945 plus 39, what’s a book set in 1984? Oh. Yeah.”
