I think it is an awful time to be alive because you have no freedom at all. Winston is in the worst possible position, he is in the Outer Party.

I was expecting to see one happen with Goldstein as the leader. Many of the predictions that George Orwell made are actually coming true in our lives. Today we have cameras that capture the lives of citizens as they go about their business. Also computer records store data for everybody and this includes health records, work, families, shopping habits etc. The Internet gives information into the private lives of people and glimpses into their homes. à ¢â‚¬Å"1984† reminds me of a book series called â€Å"The Hunger Games†.
