He didn't affect events, he predicted them. There's a difference.
His novel 1984 predicted a world where government snoops on its citizens 24 hours a day. If you keep in mind the CIA reading the emails of American citizens, it pretty much fulfills exactly what George Orwell predicted 50 years ago.
Add on CCTV cameras on every street corner in our big cities, and it highlights just how far ahead of his time Orwell was.
