1984

The beginning of this book starts as an eye opener towards what part of the media we see is the truth. The protagonists job in this novel is to take old newspapers or documentation and forge or re-write the headings and words to erase things that the government of Oceania doesn't want the people to see. In the book this makes it possible to "control" the past and wipe certain events or people from history. Who knows if our media is true, or if its all set-up by the government to mediate what we see as a population. The control that this government has over the city is unfathomable, all the while it gives a look into the thought process communist countries have.
