Mind control is the subject of George Orwell’s “Nineteen Eighty-Four“, which has regained popularity. Nineteen Eighty-Four is adystopian novel published in 1949. The Oceanian province of Airstrip One (formerly known as Great Britain) is a world of perpetual war, omnipresent government surveillance, and public mind control, dictated by a political system euphemistically namedEnglish Socialism (Ingsoc) under the control of a privileged Inner Party elite that persecutes all individualism and independent thinking as thoughtcrimes.
As George Orwell wrote, “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”
Citizens globally are concerned about their governments spying on them. Others are concerned about media pushing an agenda rather than holding government accountable.
