Yes. Ah, the originator of the Orwellian dystopia, that was obviously not well thought through on setting.

What are you talking about? 1984 is one of the most realistic dystopian novels I have ever read when you compare it to modern day society as well as communism/dictatorship

Oh, well yes, you are right.

But when it comes to modern day world and 1984, it is very accurate.

You think about Big Brother and all the rest that’s going on in the world. It is a controlling mind our world, each person wants to gain control over ther other, countries over countries and whatnot.
