1984: AI, Big Tech, Government Surveillance, propaganda and control

 By Sicebise Msengana 









After reading "1984", I realised that its author, George Orwell, predicted what will happen in a high tech world. The book is set in a totalitarian state called Oceania, where the government, led by the Party, controls every aspect its population. The novel explores themes of manipulation, surveillance and consequences of an absolute dictatorship.
