George Orwell - 1984

In 1949, British author and essayist George Orwell wrote of a future where a global despotic power controlled the people of Oceania with surveillance and propaganda. This was "1984."
It depicted a dark future where technology exists in the public realm only as a tool for the elite to control society.
But while the book is a work of dystopian fiction, some of the technological innovations that it predicted have come true in the 70 years since it was published.
Here's a look at some of the things that "1984" got right.
