1984: George Orwell

     Imagine a world full of hate and devoid of love for anything except the government. Imagine a world where the government controls all aspects of humanity, including the past. This is the world George Orwell depicts in his novel 1984. In 1984 Big Brother and The Party control every aspect of the lives of the citizens of Oceania.

Here Winston realizes, as the bullet enters his brain and a single tear runs down his face, that he truly does love Big Brother.
