Is it possible that George Orwell was not ahead of his time, that he saw the way things were going and added them up to a logical conclusion?
Is it possible that Western governments just stole his ideas? Is it possible that they are so clueless, they have turned to literature (mankind's second greatest achievement) to find inspiration for how to run their countries?
Following this, is it JUST possible that, once these governments have used all ideas from the MUCH easier to impliment distopian visions of the future, "1984", "Logan's Run", "The Children of Men", "V for Vendetta" etc, that they will have no choice but to turn to utopian works? Think "Logan's Run" without the 30-year deadline, any episode of "Star Trek TNG", "I, Robot" etc.
Is any of this possible?
