Condition remarks:

Pages: Good
Markings: No markings
A work of political philosophy and social theory, And He Loved Big Brother: Man, State and Society in Question presents a penetrating examination of the relationship between the individual and the modern state, drawing on the dystopian imagery of Orwell's totalitarian vision to interrogate the mechanisms of power, conformity, and social control. Authors Shlomo Giora Shoham and Francis Rosenstiel argue that the modern individual, far from resisting the encroachments of state authority, is often complicit in — even desirous of — his own subjugation, a paradox they trace through criminology, psychology, and political theory. The work illustrates how institutions, ideologies, and social structures conspire to shape human identity and suppress authentic selfhood, weaving together interdisciplinary perspectives with intellectual rigor. Written in a tone that is both scholarly and provocative, it challenges readers to reconsider the foundations of liberty, authority, and the social contract in an age of expanding bureaucratic and surveillance power.
