erm actually, orwell's 1984 is less about a dystopian dicatorship where you are always watched, but about the manipulative use of language to invade people's very thoughts and ensure complete and total obedience even while asleep.
Besides the obvious newspeak & fascism, I was always struck by the opening chapter where national realignments take place: Former enemies become allies & former friends become enemies: New blocks of Nation Pacts and Alliances arise out of the'old'order. A spot-on prediction of repeated behavior
