George Orwell included different propaganda techniques used by totalitarian regimes in his 1984 book. In the first years of the establishment of nation states, many states implemented nationalist or socialist propaganda against their people. They used the media, written sources, and the arts to restrict the public's opinion and dictate their own regime to them. This manipulation of truth and information served to maintain their power and suppress dissent. Orwell criticized this in his 1984 book and discussed it in a dystopia.

Governments can be manipulative and brainwashing as a result of having too much power. People with power do almost anything to keep that power. Edward Snowden revealed that the NSA is spying on Americans such as collecting data on phone calls we make and we should not be surprised.
