The central character is Winston Smith, a worker at the government's Ministry of Truth, which decides what truth is and what it isn't. The story line follows Smith as he encounters problems when he and others begin to challenge the regime of "Big Brother" by falling in love with a woman. After hiding and eluding the thought police for a while, they are both captured and "re-educated". After their release, they are ambivalent toward each other.

@var0sha 1984 is usually the go-to book for quotes about our surveillance state, but like you, I find Animal Farm an even better fit

@BruceJudson Great title for your book. "It Can't Happen Here" to me resonates more than "1984". I'm glad you're working that idea.
