Big Brother on your J2ME Cell Phone: Wouldn't Aldous Huxley be having kittens right about now?

Meu Big Brother is a J2ME game for your cell phone from Meantime Games for Brazil that is an interactive fantasy game you can play as you follow what happens on the Brazilian Survior-like TV show.

See:

Big Brother Java Cell Phone Game

You have to take care of your Big Brother character in the game via client/server interaction and treat it like a Tamagothci pet, feeding and caring for its needs. Sheesh! And, people have a tough time with taking care of goldfish! ;-) :-)

Aldous probably wouldn't be that bothered, but Eric Blair (aka George Orwell) might be a little disconcerted...

D'oh! Mr. Anonymous is right! I must need to take another Soma, because "Big Brother" (as in "Big Brother is watching you!" and the Thought Police) was part of the novel, 1984, written by George Orwell, the pen-name of Eric Blair.

Brave New World, written by Aldous Huxley had Hypnopaedia and the Feelies, but no Big Brother.

Hey, don't tell my junior high school teacher, Mrs. Hauser, OK? She'd send me to Room 101 for that mistake. ;-)
