Big Brother represents government interference in people's everyday lives. I think if you want to stay off the government's radar it is rather easy. Don't push large amounts of drugs through the country and don't attempt to overthrow the government. Otherwise they pretty much leave you alone. All the phone tapping happens to people of interest. If you have nothing to hide who really cares? I doubt they stay tuned in to listen to who hooked up with who.
I'm having a really hard time getting into 1984. George Orwell is supposed to be a great author but so far I'm not impressed, I thought Animal Farm was a much better novel. However I've only read part one so hopefully it picks up. I cannot imagine living in that society. The idea of someone tapping into my thoughts is so intrusive it makes me sick. None of us would last long, our generation is the most controversial yet. We would have been the first to be vaporized.
