Imagine living in the world described by George Orwell in his novel, Nineteen Eighty Four: where one’s state is one of three super states at perpetual war; where one is ruled by a single all powerful leader; where this leader subjects everyone to continuous and pervasive surveillance of not only ones actions but also ones thoughts; and where historical records have been rewritten to make the state omniscient.
Imagine living in our world: where one’s religion is one of three super religions at perpetual war; where one is ruled by a single all powerful divinity; where this divinity subjects everyone to continuous and pervasive surveillance of not only ones actions but also ones thoughts; and where historical records have been rewritten into holy books to make one’s religion omniscient.
