In the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, the government of Oceania has an entire Ministry that uses all forms of media to create a false reality. One of the tasks of the Ministry of Truth is to develop a new language called Newspeak which is meant to make thoughtcrime (thinking critically) impossible.
The objective is to significantly reduce the number of words in the English language so that there would be no words for thoughts that were deemed a crime; that is, thoughts that question the government’s version of the truth.
