Description

"It was curious to think that the sky was the same for everybody, in Eurasia or Eastasia as well as here. And the people under the sky were also very much the same--everywhere, all over the world, hundreds or thousands of millions of people just like this, people ignorant of one another's existence, held apart by walls of hatred and lies, and yet almost exactly the same--people who had never learned to think but were storing up in their hearts and bellies and muscles the power that would one day overturn the world."

George Orwell, 1984, Book 1, Chapter 10

that book means a lot to me and I think you've illustrated it beautifully - it's interesting how you didn't go for a devastating, bloody, "the world is doomed"-feeling (after all that's probably what the book leaves most people with when they've finished it) - the eye is not so much menacing (like Big Brother's) but rather melancholy (like Winston's), that's very fitting to the part you've quoted but still leaves a lot for the viewer to openly interpret :)
