Origin[]
Eric Arthur Blair (25 June 1903 – 21 January 1950) was an English novelist, poet, essayist, journalist, and critic who wrote under the pen name of George Orwell. His work is characterised by lucid prose, social criticism, opposition to totalitarianism, and support of democratic socialism. Orwell produced literary criticism, poetry, fiction, and polemical journalism. He is known for the allegorical novella Animal Farm (1945) and the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949). His non-fiction works, including The Road to Wigan Pier (1937), documenting his experience of working-class life in the industrial north of England, and Homage to Catalonia (1938), an account of his experiences soldiering for the Republican faction of the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939), are as critically respected as his essays on politics, literature, language and culture.
This lightbulb was used as Orwell had written "Nineteen Eighty-Four" and many more of his books, absorbing his ideas into the filament inside the bulb.
Effects[]
Looking into the light or being around it for long periods of time will render a person susceptible to brainwashing. Even through neutralizer lined glasses, the light will still pierce through. Unless a artifact that can not only block its light but change it's brainwashing patterns, such as Sidney Gottlieb's Sunglasses.
The light itself is perpetually burning and fueled off of the collective ideas of totalitarians.
