Summary
It was 1984 plus 6. Britain in the year 1990 was not a pleasant place to live. Instead of a big brother, there were plenty of little brothers all employed by the Public Control Department (PCD), a huge government bureaucracy designed to help the economy recover from several setbacks of the late 1970s. Instead it had turned the nation into a place where professional people wanted to illegally emigrate to America. or even third world nations. PCD officials enjoyed special privileges while the rest of the people were forced to deal with rationing, shortages of essential goods and constant surveillance. One of the leaders of the fight for freedom was Jim Kyle, a journalist working for the Star, the last newspaper that has not fallen under government control.
