This book is about a supposedly socialist government that is more totalitarian. Big Brother and the Thought Police constantly monitor all citizens of Oceania with telescreens, and if people oppose the party, they will be killed, therefore ceasing to ever exist and becoming “unpersons.” The Party controls the past, present, and future as they alter historical records and effectively brainwash the population. The plot focuses around Winston Smith and the woman he later falls in love with, Julia, as they begin to realize the truth, quietly defy the Party in any small ways they can, and eventually must struggle against the most terrible brainwashing of all.
