Description
Written more than 70 years ago, George Orwell’s chilling prophecy about the future of government is timelier than ever... In Orwell’s chilling vision of a government that will do anything to control the narrative, it’s not just Big Brother watching. It’s Big Brother who writes history. In 1984, Winston Smith toes the Party line. With each lie he writes, Winston grows to hate the Party that seeks power for its own sake and persecutes those who dare to commit thought crimes. But as he starts to think for himself, Winston can’t escape the fact that Big Brother is always watching.
