1984 is a dystopian novella by George Orwell which follows the life of Winston Smith, a low ranking member of ‘The Party’ who is frustrated by the ever present surveillance of every aspect of his life and the threat of its ominous ruler, Big Brother.
In this book, Orwell effectively and frightening notion of 1984 is that the complete control of an entire nation under a totalitarian state is perfectly possible. Sadly, our group was able to find comparisons with present day regimes and to a lesser degree recognise the role of mass media in the manipulation of news and information on our own society
Take care BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING!
