The reference is to George Orwell's book, 1984, which was published in 1949 (and even documented a Communist nuclear missile attack against the United States in 1964 - not a bad prediction). He portrayed a society where the Government spied on you and had the Thought Police to ensure your every action was correct. I believe that book gave rise to the phrase "Big Brother."
