the book "1984" - George Orwell - discusses differences between the world in the book and how it is now

Future of the World George Orwell's depiction of the world in 1984 was a bit far-fetched. Telescreens watching every move you make, the government completely controlling one's life, just does not seam realistic. There is evidence of things that Orwell said in his novel, just not as drastic. Now in 2001, we have surveillance cameras in stores, banks, and even at some stoplights. When one goes to the airport, they have to go through extensive safety precautions. …

… the way that they want to make sure that the citizens they govern over are obeying all of the laws, pretty much at all times. The world probably will never become as bad as how Orwell depicted it, but the above information does show some evidence of it, in a lesser amount. We continue to live freely, but one has to wonder, will this freedom last or will the government completely rules our lives?
