1984

RE: 1984
Orwell was a supporter of Democratic Socialism, but was concerned about totalitarianism and that came through with this novel and others. I wonder if he would equate corporate surveillance of the population to the governmental surveillance of the book. I find it interesting that both conservatives and liberals find cautionary value in this novel and both appear to feel that the other side is directing us toward that eventual end.
Why is it so?
