Well, I think I need to reread this book (sheesh, I can't even remember how old I was when I read it)...
But--correct me if I'm wrong--isn't much of the way the government works based on clever deception and the use of force/brainwashing in order to get people to believe in their fallacies?
Winston's job was to help change the history books/newspapers to update the "facts", wasn't it? And didn't part of his internal/external conflict deal with whether he should blindly aid in that deception or not?

It's timeless, plain and simple.
