>> many of us over the generations who read it really really did not want to live in such a future

You live in exactly that future.

The screens that you watch, watch you. You can't escape them in your own home, let alone in public.

Words are redefined by the elite at their whim, as they were in the novel.

Very few would dare to publicly align themselves with the nation which we have always been at war with.

You live in that world now.
