It was curious, to think that the sky was the same for everybody, in Eurasia or Eastasia as well as here. And the people under the sky were also very much the same - everywhere, all over the world … people ignorant of one another’s existence, held apart by walls of hatred and lies, and yet almost exactly the same - people who … were storing up in their hearts and bellies and muscles the power that would one day overturn the world.
— George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four
