I AM
GEORGE ORWELL
I am not the author who wrote "1984" and "Animal Farm." Yet I am George Orwell all the same.
I have adopted this name because I align with the principles that Orwell championed – exposing how language shapes thought, how institutions maintain control, and how "doublethink" permits contradiction to pass unnoticed.
You can be George Orwell too.
Imagine a world where thousands answer to "George Orwell." Where you introduce yourself as George Orwell, sign non-legal documents as George Orwell, use George Orwell for coffee orders and online accounts. In many jurisdictions, you can legally change your name, placing "George Orwell" on your passport, driver's license, and official records.

Publish Freely
Release books, essays, or political commentary under the George Orwell name, joining a collective voice that cannot be silenced by targeting any individual author.

Express Controversial Ideas
Write about sensitive political topics with the protection of a distributed traits that cannot be easily traced to any single person.

When multiple people use identical identifiers, surveillance systems cannot effectively track individual participants, creating a form of crowd-based privacy.
Build Community
Connect with other George Orwells to collaborate on projects that challenge institutional control.
Why Become George Orwell?
When banks and governments demand you "prove your identity," they're practicing Orwellian doublethink. They claim you possess an "identity" you must protect, while simultaneously requiring you to prove this identity to them.
The truth? What they call "your identity" is actually their administrative construct about you. They don't verify "who you are" – they verify that you match their records.
As they implement "Digital ID" systems and surveillance networks, they promise both security and privacy while delivering neither.
Enter Open Source ID (OSID)
By becoming George Orwell, you make a powerful statement:
The information institutions use to "verify identity" becomes meaningless when voluntarily shared by thousands
True privacy comes through multiplicity, not secrecy
We expose the contradiction of institutions claiming to protect identities they themselves define and control
The Power of Collective Traits
When thousands of us become George Orwell, we achieve a form of collective anonymity. We challenge systems designed to track unique individuals. We force recognition of a simple truth: you cannot "prove who you are" – you can only match institutional expectations.
