a satiricalnovel by English novelist GeorgeOrwell (1903 - 1950). Set in the society of the future, it is the story of a man and a girl who rebel. In this terrifying society there is no place for truth, for historical records are destroyed and propaganda replaces information. Thought and love are punished, while privacy is impossible. Placards everywhere say: "Big Brother is watching you." —SHSBC Binder 30 Approved Glossary
