There are some common denomintaors between Geroge Orwell´s story 1984 and
the Internet song. One of these is that both text talk about the surveillance
of all people. Another is that one person can influence the whole economy. In
the Internet song it is Bill Gates; in the story it is the government. In
1984 there´s also war between the super powers. In the Internet there´s also a
"war". This war is a kind of cyberwar with no real weapons, but with Trojan
Horses, Viruses and so on. In the end you can see that George Orwell´s story
and the 21 century weren´t so different! So trust nobody!
