Behind the Mirror: Inside the World of Big Brother
by Taran Armstrong - Current Affairs, Nonfiction, Social Sciences

In a house designed for manipulation, paranoia and power plays, 16 strangers are cut off from the outside world --- watched every second by cameras, judged by millions. Welcome to "Big Brother." A show ahead of its time, it was once dismissed as fluff television. Now this voyeuristic reality show has quietly become a cultural juggernaut, capturing the rawest truths of human behavior while building an intense, obsessive fanbase along the way. But what are the costs of turning human lives into entertainment? What kind of psychological toll does it take to be put in isolation, under constant surveillance, in a perpetual state of suspicion? And what does it say about us as a society that we love to watch it unfold?
