Thoughtcrime in Second Life

• An interactive and competitive

game in which participants role-

play as characters from the novel.

Played in a virtual world that

replicates key locations from the

novel, the game brings the

totalitarian regime of Big Brother

to life. Players are pitted against

each other in a subtle struggle for

survival that parallels the plot of

1984.

• A virtual museum and classroom

space where students and

teachers can examine 1984 within

broader historical, political, and

contemporary contexts. The

museum will contain a range of

media and materials, including

streaming video, audio, and three-

dimensional displays, all intended

to illuminate the central concerns

of the novel, its author, and its

continuing influence on modern

thought.
