1984

In George Orwells novel "1984," he imagines a society called “Oceania,” one of three fictional superstates controlled by totalitarian regimes (for Oceania, the regime is called “The Party”). The party’s leader is “Big Brother,” who the population is completely submissive to. In every aspect of life, Big Brother is watching. One of the ways Big Brother and The Party maintain totalitarian control over Oceania is by censoring all information available to citizens, especially by the work of the “Ministry of Truth,” which forges and alters historical documents to exclude information about events and people involved in activities deemed contrary to the regime’s political ideal. The truthful documents are destroyed, and the public may only access the new information promoted by the Ministry of Truth. 🔼🔼Sound familiar?
