Do you think there is any common link between our real world and the world in 1984 by George Orwell ?

Thankfully, our world and Oceania are fairly distinct.  We don't have to deal with
telescreens in the wall calling out to us, "You are the dead," when we are with the
ones we love or even wish to associate with in our private lives.  Yet, I think that we can find
some level of link between whatfeared in and the modern setting.  Orwell
keenly understood that his text was constructed with what he feared most about the future.  It
is with this in mind that one reality that Orwell envisioned that might find a link with our
world today is the fear of an external reality controlling our lives.  In the novel, it is Big
Brother.  In the modern setting, the need to keep maintain privacy in a world that is constantly
driven with publicity is a form of external encroachment that would concern Orwell.  A world in
which everything is public from web searches is one such example of a lack of privacy.  One's
digital footprint is everywhere, and seeking to control it is a challenge. ...
