1984

In 1984, Winston Smith lives in a world of constant surveillance, of perpetual war where only the name of the enemy changes, a world in which cheap entertainment, alcohol and the lottery ticket keeps the masses ignorant but content, a world of doublethink, thoughtcrime, and newspeak. Sound familiar? In 2017, we live in a world of constant surveillance, of perpetual war where only the name of the enemy changes, a world in which cheap entertainment, alcohol and the lottery ticket keeps the masses ignorant but content, a world of fake news, alternative facts and post-truth. Whether Breitbart or the BBC, we are all Winston Smith. Big Brother is the modern surveillance state. And he is definitely watching you.
