I feel like we didn’t read the same book. IIRC the actual state surveillance in the book wasn’t actually that big of a deal. It was more people policing themselves and others not a top down thing. It was also how history and things could just be… (cont)re-written and that facts didn’t matter. Basically much of the emphasis was on the true indoctrination of the proles. The vast majority of the proles were true believers. This book is more-so a warning for propaganda. My point being the current state of twitter, blue sky probably, and Tik Tok maybe is more 1984-esque than a license plate scanner.
