I'm rereading 1984, and the analysis and parallels are scary! It's like they're following the storyline to a T! As far as I can tell, the future brings continuation of Doublespeak, ramp it up so nobody knows if we're down or up, then send in the though police to enforce conformity.

Any other thoughts??
