has anybody read it? i have the e book and considering it was written over 60 years ago it is facinating it even talks about tv etc the whole concept of bb came from that book
 
It will change your perspective on the show completely. I suspect the reason Alex Mavroidakis gets away with what he does because so many have NOT read it sadly
 
yeah the book is about the goverment taking over the population ( from my perspective) it even says in the book big brother is always watching you

I read it in year 12. It is fictional, but it gives you good insight into the potential for government surveilance, which as we have seen recently, is in fact becoming a reality.

In fact, the reality is more scary than the fiction. In 1984, the concept of mobile telephones didn't exist, and so surveillance was restricted to a large object in the wall of an apartment. As we have seen from the NSA scandal, surveillance actually occurs on every smart phone device. Thus, everywhere you carry it around with you you are being spied upon.
 
you should know all about my avatar and signature then? hahaha

fantastic read, I read it in 2009 when I wasn't getting my bb fix!

No it didn't. If it had then the house mates would live on starvation rations and Victory Gin. Also some would be tortured and others shot.
 
Yes, and if you've read it you too would have realised that the likes of left-ardian Emily lister fabian socialist greenazi totalitarian Julia Gillard and the sociopathic narcissist KRudd (along with the unions that they are the political arm of) plus the actual greenazi party are the pigs and the farmer and those out to take advantage of the fair-go hard-working types that are portrayed by the rest of the farm yard, yes ?

I think that you are confusing two books.

Big Brother (UK)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Big Brother is a BAFTA Award-winning British reality television game show in which a number of contestants live in an isolated house for several weeks, trying to avoid being evicted by the public with the aim of winning a large cash prize at the end of the run. It is the British version of the Dutch Big Brother television format, which takes its name from the character in George Orwell's 1949 novel Nineteen Eighty-Four.

That's coz you've prolly chosen to be part of the problem rather than the solution and are supping with the pigs at their table rather than being out in the farm yard doing the Real Work. :D

keke eh ?

Is that anything to do with this ?

they are wrong that bb isnt based on 1984 it sure is the whole concept comes from the book not everything of course but the idea did
 
wow it says something if a book published in 1946 is still being circulated well in libraries. I've put a hold on it. It's been on my list for years.

I read a fiction book a couple of years ago to do with spying on people. I'll go google.
 
I'm actually related to George Orwell somewhere done the line. So that make's me Big Brother's Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Grandson. lol
