1984 is the name of the famous book by George Orwell. This is the book that spawned the Big Brother is Watching concept and I think that he would be nodding his head and saying I told you so if he were alive today. Big Brother is watching. And listening. And reading your email. And spreading propaganda. WAR IS PEACE. FREEDOM IS SLAVERY. IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH. Those are the words hidden in 1984.
