Explanation:

"Nineteen Eighty-Four" is a 1949 novel by George Orwell is about a dystopian society of the future. It imagines a futuristic state where independent thinking and present living ways are rendered illegal.

In the novel, a superstate named Oceania ruled over Airstrip One, formerly Great Britain. And the government of this superstate employs the 'Thought Police' who persecute people who have independent thoughts.

Syme is a friend of Winston, the main character. He works as a specialist in Newspeak in the Department of Research. His work keeps him involved with the plans of destroying language, the narrowing of a person's thought range among many things. Syme is too intelligent and would not be suitable for 'The Party'. As he lacks the stupidity and discretion on matters that will be a violation of the government's policies, Winston feels he will be vaporized. According to Winston, Syme is just too dangerous for 'The Party' who prefers their citizens to be thoughtless, incapable of making their own thoughts.
