The dystopian novel that tells of life in a future totalitarian society dominated by "Big Brother" is George Orwell's award winning 1949 novel "Nineteen Eighty-Four". This work is considered one of his two best along with "Animal Farm".

Orwell's dystopian novels are usually set in the future; they warn man to change his attitude about his society. In "Nineteen Eighty-Four", the ruler is known as "Big Brother" and huge photographs of him dominate every public space within the society. The pictures contain the warning, “Big Brother is watching you”. Something like this where photographs are used to control citizens of the state is found in every kind of dictatorship, both leftist and rightist.

In this novel, its key theme is of course a political one. In the totalitarian dictatorship, the individual is destroyed physically, annihilated mentally, and degraded into an asserting automaton. Winston, the main protagonist, can’t avoid it and can’t do anything to oppose the political 'Party'.
