George Orwell: 1984

This is a rather ungood title - it’s the ending, for chrissakes! It took me a moment to work that out though, so kudos I suppose. But since it’s all most people reference from the book anyway, I’d go with ‘Big Brother’s Little Brother (The Novel)’.
(Or, more mischievously, how about ‘Big Government is Bad’?)
