Well, the image on Max' shirt is actually the book cover of 1984.

So you might be right. I am not sure if Orwell invented the term big brother or if that came later, but he certainly explored the idea of total government control and someone watching you all the time.

It is not 100% clear if Orwell "invented" the actual term, but it became what it means today (mass surveillance etc), because of 1984 :

What's unclear, is what actually truly inspired him, the article states several possibilities, but it seems like nobody knows which one (or if all?) inspired him.

Orwell was Brit gov insider, he made his carrier in early era of British Empire’s Ministry of Truth (BBC). “Orwell” is his pen name to protect his BBC profile btw. His book depicts British technocrats’ vision of future for the next 50 years, obviously. Check out H. G. Wells’ ideas for the world government from that era for comparison. Same with Huxley. They differ a bit but idea is the same.

It was in the air since the first world war when elites said “never again, we need to manage this thing in another way”. Long story short Orwell invented nothing. He just spilled the beans on BBC and British Conservative Party (he was a flaming liberal). Contemporary readers understood all the allusions quite easily. Idea ‘1984’ is somehow anti-Soviet pamphlet is from late stages of the Cold war.

I would say, just go and visit her in the shower in the morning or whenever she is showering. It's called "I think I owe you a favor", it takes place after the memory left of this one.

You should be able to peek on her normally as well. I don't know any condition that prevents it.

Of course it's possible that your persistent file is damaged. In that case use the one provided in the savegames post.
