George Orwell's 1984 - Big Brother

A Novel written by the great George Orwell. Ahead of it's time this political piece of fiction made one of the truest statements about the future. George Orwell wrote 1984 about how a world of perpetual war and government surveillance and mind control of the masses that one day everywhere could become a controlled environment in which the rebels who stood out against the establishment would be tortured and made to either love the establishment or wither and die but not before they completely obeyed. 

In a world where surveillance of the masses is starting to become true, Big Brother is watching us all and although many would like to believe otherwise people are being controlled by the media and the government, not in as much the way 1984's story tells but the media does have some control over the public.

Having read George Orwell's 1984 myself i feel that a lot of what is written is becoming true, although i do feel that we are along way off torturing and murder for our establishments power. 

Big Brother at the top (Establishment) , The Party in middle (Government Officials and a like), the Proles (People not worth controlling as they'll do whatever their told to do) at bottom, in 1984.

However now George Orwell's 1984 has been interpreted by the modern day world and has been made into a 10 year long television programme appropriately called Big Brother.  

Big brother started in 2000 and ran until 2010. The television show was popular throughout the public in the United Kingdom as well as around the world. It become iconic in making memebers of the public "Celebrities" when they'd won the tv show by giving them publicity deals and a like. 

The television show become notable for controlling all aspects of the game shows contestants life whilst they were in the show they were taken away from all their family and friends and place in an artificial house with ten other contestants they then had to complete tasks for a food budget and tokens which could be exchanged for treats such as hairdryers and hot water.

Contestants had to give their phones and electrical outside equipment to the show as well as any books or other contraband the show deemed they wouldn't need in the house as they were a luxury.
