He is my favorite writer, he was actually being watched while he was writing Nineteen Eighty-Four, so he is right for a lot of things i think

Nineteen Eighty-Four was incredible. It described a dystopian future in Great Britain where the residents were oppressed and under government surveillance.

The author borrowed a number of elements from the Soviet Union, also but he called it nothing special when he saw what is happening on the other side, the so called free side :D

Interesting! There were also "though police" in the novel and if you have independent thoughts, they were referred to as "thoughtcrimes".
