1984 is a book everyone should read. Its amazing how he was able to write about mass surveillance half a century before it started to happen. Fantastic book.

Its about a man who lives in a Superfascist state which is always in constant war with another. He lives in "London", and eventually takes on "Big Brother"

Very possibly that might be what started the Big Brother reality show series.

OK, about the book though, I haven't read it, but in last year my Socials teacher talked about it for a bit, and it did seem interesting.

Not sure if I'll get around to it or not though.

I was going to read it a couple of years ago, but the libraries copy was a piece of shit. Pages were falling out and shit, so I never got around to it. I still hope to read it someday.
