In 1949 George Orwell’s vision of a dystopian future, 1984, was published.

Winston? The protagonist of 1984? What is his job?

What is another word George Orwell used? Big Brother. Big Brother is used in 1984 to describe an overarching police state where all information is controlled by guess who? The government.
