Big Brother is a fictional character and symbol in George Orwell's dystopian 1949 novel Nineteen Eighty-Four.

In the society that Orwell describes, every citizen is under constant surveillance by the authorities, mainly by telescreens. The people are constantly reminded of this by the slogan "Big Brother is watching you": a maxim that is ubiquitously on display.
