Prolesec

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Prolesec is a Newspeak term (derived from "Proletarian Section") in George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. Prolesec was in charge of providing prolefeed: entertainment for the proles, the working classes in Oceanian society. This was accomplished via a wheeled lottery mechanism that would randomly combine plots, ideas, gender, and other themes, punctuating the frivolity and emptiness of the prolefeed.
