Book
1984 / George Orwell.
Set in Oceana, the ultimate totalitarian state, it describes a society tyrannized by the ruling party led by Big Brother. In the furtherance of eradicating expressions of individuality, people's lives are constantly monitored. Telescreens are everywhere, helicopters hover around buildings, spying through windows, and the Thought Police are constantly on alert. Despite the threat of severe punishment, Outer Party Member Winston Smith takes a break from his job rewriting history. At home, in the one corner of his apartment that is hidden from the telescreen, he sits down to write a diary. -- From back cover.
