We have created for the first time in all history a garden of pure ideology,where each worker may bloom, secure from the pests of any contradictory true thoughts.
Our Unification of Thoughts is more powerful a weapon than any fleet or army on earth.
We are one people, with one will, one resolve, one cause.
Our enemies shall talk themselves to death and we will bury them with their own confusion.
We shall prevail!

It is absolutely imperative that you read 1984, and also Huxley's Brave New World.As if you combine the two you have the Western world as it is today.

I'm sure the guys/girls at the advert agency were giggling like fools when the mayor's office gave it the go aheadAlso I love how there are nearly as many copies of Nineteen Eighty-Four for sale in non-fiction as there are in fiction on eBay.

I'm more disturbed that you've 'seen V for Vendetta'but possibly haven't read the book. The film's a shallow bastardisation, which turns a deeply ambiguous story about anarchism into some kind of happy-clappy neocon fantasy about painless regime change.
Oh, and Orwell's book is an arguably inferior rip-off of Zamayatin's 'We'.

Controversial.I don't think that We matches up to Nineteen Eighty-Four. Mind you, it's about 5 years since I read the former, and about 17 since I read the latter, so I could be mistaken...
