Specifications
The totalitarian regime of Big Brother, constantly watching everyone and everything through countless interactive screens, exercises absolute control over actions and consciences. Everything is adapted to the one and only truth, the one that the Party upholds, the only infallible mechanism, embodied by Big Brother.
Everything, even the past: whoever controls the past controls the future, and whoever controls the present controls the past. The crime of thought is the mortal sin. Therefore, anything that leads to its commission must be eradicated: freedom, language, human feelings. And anyone who commits thought crime must be led to death reformed: they will die loving Big Brother.
When Orwell was writing his book, 1984 was the future. Today it is the past. But after this work, the real 1984 will always be a year of the future, the first of a grim millennium that threatens human history.
One of the greatest books of the 20th century, "1984" has been read as a manifesto and admired as a prophecy. Its nightmarish truth about the state of lethal terror is just one step away from becoming reality: Big Brother is already watching us.
