Orwell knew many “insiders” and their plans.

1984 was a warning, pure and simple.

Brave New World was 1984 on drugs. :-)

It still amazes me that Brave New World was written in 1931.

I think we’re becoming more like Brave New World than 1984.

The Soviet Union was much closer to 1984 and I imagine North Korea is a carbon copy.

1984 was a warning, pure and simple.

Orwell was writing about the world of 1948 in 1984. A world of shifting national allegiances, media propaganda, and intrusive governments.
