 ====== 1984 (Nineteen Eighty-Four) ======
-A cultural staple of government grown overlarge and completely wrong, George Orwell's dystopian novel //1984// was not as fictional as many would like to think. A reflection of some of the terrible events of the time of its writing (1949), 1984 was intended as a warning against the 'betrayal' of socialist ideals by Stalin as well as one against ever increasing government power.

 There remains a great debate over the nature of scope of the novel's ultra-totalitarian regimes. Some suggests that the entire world is under this level of control, while some suggest that Big Brother rules only the British Islands or even just the London Area. Given the extreme level of propaganda and the government's willingness to do everything in its power to maintain control, the objective truth is deeply--if not completely--obscured.
-What is not in dispute is the level of decay apparent in the novels. Colchester has suffered a nuclear attack, and rationing is tightening. Immanuel Goldstein's banned book discusses a view of the world, but it may itself be propaganda. This work discusses the global nature of the Totalitarian powers--but this may also be a fabrication
