Today's society is similar to 1984 in many ways. Technology has become increasingly pervasive, with surveillance cameras, facial recognition software, and other forms of monitoring becoming commonplace. Social media has also become a powerful tool for governments and corporations to track and influence public opinion. Additionally, the rise of populism and authoritarianism has led to a greater emphasis on nationalism and a decrease in civil liberties. Finally, the spread of misinformation and "fake news" has made it difficult to discern truth from fiction.
