Term invented by
Janusz A. Zajdel, Polish s-f writer. It was language used by people in a totalitarian world called Paradyzja (in a book under the same title
Paradyzja 1984). Because Paradyzja was a space station, where all activity was tracked by automatic cameras and analysed (mostly) by computers, people created a jargon full of metaphors, impossible for computers to grasp. The meaning of all sentences depended on context. For example, the phrase "
Tonight I dreamt about blue angels" meant "
The Police visited me tonight".
