“He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past”. Gorge Orwell wrote 1984 at 1948. He is among the deep thinkers at his time. Within 1984 Gorge Orwell picture a restricted society in which people have been watched and brain washed so government could have full control. There is a minister of truth in charge of amending the past so people do not have the truth and knowledge about the past. People been trained to believe “ignorance is strength war is peace freedom is slavery”.

Winston is the main character of the book. The author shows how the intuition is screwed within this society so Winston intuition is telling him Julia is an agent and member of the party however it turns out Julia is just in love with him. Winston thinks O'brien is a member of the brotherhood and it turn's out he is an agent working directly with the party.

Winston got access to Goldstein book and he thought this book is wrote by freedom fighter or brotherhood. This book contains some facts and conspiracies, however it turns out it wrote by party members so they can find and detect people that looking for truth and brain wash them. Thoughtcrime is the most unforgivable crime in this society and though police watching people all the time.

Gorge Orwell illustrate in his book how corrupted government or so called big brother control and rule the nation by killing the freedom, peace and knowledge. Big brother is at top of the pyramid and comes after it the Inner Party, the Outer Party, and the Proles.

This book is not an easy read, I was lucky I watched the Movie first and been through the audio book twice until I could be able to connect the dots and enjoy the book.
