'1984' was just a number as his book title (1948 reversed). It could be any year. And sofar Orwell was entirely right. Examples: NSA, DHS, FBI, internet censorship, and 10 million CCTV cameras in the UK.
Yes..Orwell's "story/ hypothesis" is bearing abundant fruit, This is no reason to get all "Conspiracy Theorist on me"
After all ..the Politic is so stupid that it NEEDED Orwell to give it direction. Not to mention human predilection for sticking one's nose into other peoples business.
