Chapters 2-6 of 1984

"And this hall, with its fifty workers or thereabouts, was only one sub-section, a single cell, as it were, in the huge complexity of the Records Department. Beyond, above below, were other swarms of workers engaged in an unimaginable multitude of jobs. There were the huge printing shops with their sub-editors, their typography experts, and their elaborately equipped studios for the faking of photographs."
 This quote really made me think about past government control, while it is no surprise that 1984 is making me think of previous governments, it still surprises me how much his depiction of previous dictatorships still sounds like he predicted the North Korean dictatorships. His depictions of a fascist government or a government who's control resembles the Nazi regime is almost as he was living in the same era or Kim Jung Un or Fidel Castro with their dictatorships in full effect. Imagine the millions of people who know nothing but the lies their government tells them or the faked images they see... People in North Korea do not even know anything but worshiping Kim Jung Un and life in North Korea. They are fed lies like that North Korea won the World Cup or that their dictator is a divine creature. The Records Department seems like a mirror image of the North Korean government right now.
