in light of a highly influential book: 1984


Take a good look around the pop culture scene to see all the references there are to this book.
They are numerous and not difficult to find.
Subterranean Homesick Alien by Radiohead for example:

The breath of the morning/ I keep forgetting
The smell of the warm summer air
I live in a town / Where you can't smell a thing
You watch your feet / For cracks in the pavement
Up above Aliens hover / Making home movies
For the folks back home
Of all these weird creatures / Who lock up their spirits
Drill holes in themselves / And live for their secrets
