A masterpiece!
Story of a country where the government is infallible. The mistakes it makes are simply removed from the records. Any historical incident that goes against the government policy or national pride is taken out or edited from all historical books leaving no trace that it ever happened.

Where independent thinking is a crime punishable by death. Each citizen is under constant surveillance by the "thought police" and the vocabulary of the language is made smaller and smaller each year with the ultimate aim that one day the language will be so limited that no new idea can expressed through it.
In such an totalitarian society, one man decided to commit the "thoughtcrime" and started questioning everything that he had been told by the "telescreen".
"Being in a minority, even a minority of one, did not make you mad. There was truth and there was untruth, and if you clung to the truth even against the whole world, you were not mad."
