winston turned a switch and the voice sank somewhat, though the words were still distinguishable. the instrument (the telescreen it was called) could be dimmed, but there was no way of shutting it off completely...winston kept his back turned to the telescreen...

what are the chances that a society which starves it's citizens and is dark at night hardwired government controlled radio to every household and business?

use your critical reasoning.
