What do you think about comparisons of the dystopian world of 1984 and our current reality? Its arguable that much of the conditions of that novel exist in our reality now. But there are also distinct differences. Screens abound that constantly feed us dubious information and can (ostensibly?) see and hear us. We experience conditioning and indoctrination when we are often not even aware its happening. But it isn't really the government who is the author of these things, it's corporations and media. You could even argue that newspeak is happening with the movements to expel many words and phrases from our vocabulary, but again, not the government. Did George Orwell really predict these things? What other things do you see that seem to parallel the novel?
Why is it so?
