Best Books: Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell
A friend informs me that the 1984 Apple commercial is related to a famous classic book "Nineteen Eighty-Four" by George Orwell.
Thought Police. Big Brother. Orwellian. Newspeak. Doublethink. Thoughtcrime. -- in 1984, George Orwell created a whole vocabulary of words concerning totalitarian control that have since passed into our common vocabulary. George Orwell's classic dystopia novel, "Nineteen Eighty-Four" details the story of one man's nightmare odyssey as he pursues a forbidden love affair through a world ruled by warring states and a power structure that controls not only information but also individual thought and memory, 1984 is a prophetic, haunting tale.
Find out about Ministry of Truth, Ministry of Love and its infamous Room 101. Ministry of Truth involves the constant "correction" of such records."'Who controls the past,' ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.'
The purpose of the Ministry of Love is to enforce loyalty and love of Big Brother through fear, torture, and brainwashing. It contains Room 101, which is "the worst thing in the world". Room 101 is a torture chamber in the Ministry of Love in which a prisoner is subjected to his or her own worst nightmare.
