Eric Blair, or George Orwell if you like, predicted in his book, “Nineteen Eighty Four: A Novel,” written in 1948, but published in 1949, that a phenomenon he called “Big Brother,” will be monitoring and dictating the direction and the quality of the lives of citizens, by 1984.
The world would become a dystopia, a state or society, usually totalitarian and despotic, where citizens go through suffering and injustice. The world, under one government, would routinely endure war and other disasters.
The major themes of “1984” are exposure of the evils of totalitarianism, mass surveillance, (which the social media have perfected), repressive regimentation of the lives of citizens and conduct or behaviour prescribed by Big Brother that is watching them all the time.

BELFAST Sally Tredwell Duff, formerly of Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, was born on March 28, 1943 in Youngstown, Ohio, and died on January 23, 2021, at home in Belfast, Maine. The cause was complications of Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
With a love of life, of beauty, of humor, and no stranger to passion, she was nonetheless wise, enormously rational, and immensely sensible when decisions were needed – as they so often are in a marriage of 57 years in diverse places and careers, and with a growing family. Loving that family, her daughters and grandchildren were her great delight. They had total devotion. When a sweater was superbly knit by this mistress of needles, as sweaters often were for family members, it was a demonstration of both great skill and love.
