1984 is probably one of my favourite books. From what I read somewhere I think it was a warning about communism and tight government control.
I think it's pretty easy to draw parallels between the book and any sort of organised power. Whether it's religious, communist, or corporate.
Big brother will probably remind you of any kind of powerful organization you're not keen on at the time.
Probably the countries that resemble 1984 the most are North Korea and China.
There's so many things that bring this book to mind.
Like lots of people have said, corperations spying on people, religious organizations denying evolution and dinosaurs (changing history). Lots of stories from North Korea. Political correctness and the strict control of language. Listening to Edward Snowden talk.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
