It's about Microsoft dana just kidding :). A way early cautionary tale about big government, control of people, control of information, the realistic subtleties in controlling thought not through really funky technological stuff, but shifts in language, concepts, media and... and it's been far too long since I've read it to say much more than the basics. I think i'd best go 'n get it. AFAIK the term "Big Brother" originated in the book, written in the late 40's (ish)... that sums up quite a lot of it. dana (off to hunt down 1984 stuff now)

It's one of the classics of 20th-century literature, and close enough to scifi that even non-literary geeks (no slur intended--I read mostly scifi, and have since the '50s) will enjoy it. Forget the computer and handle a real book for a change--available at any bookstore, or at your local library.

boredomconquersall Full Member Canada 613 Posts	Posted - 08 Jul 2002 : 11:47:56 I've read the book, and this is how I see it. four companies will eventually own everything and rule the world, most likely coca-cola, disney, mordorspounge and CP rail. I'm not gonna give away the book to ppl who havent read it yet, but heres my sum of it The Ministry of Truth = CP rail The Ministry of Peace = diseny The Ministry of Love = coco-cola the Ministry of Plenty = mordarspounge if anybody else wants to change this any, go ahead.
