Winston Smith reconstructs history for his nine-to-five job for the Ministry of Truth—a job similar to the one Orwell had with the BBC. With each falsehood that he writes and each truth that he buries, Winston grows to detest Big Brother more. His thoughts start to become his own, but Big Brother is constantly watching and listening. Even thinking of creating a personal journal or falling in love is punishable by death.

Winston writes a journal and falls in love. Game on.

WAR IS PEACE

FREEDOM IS SLAVERY

IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.
