George Orwell was off by a few decades, it seems.
While I understand your point, the biggest misconception about the 1984 book is that it's mainly about surveillance — it's about manipulation of words, e.g. Ministry of "Peace".
While I understand your point, it was never implied in my comment that 1984 is mainly about surveillance — in fact, it implicitly drew a parallel to the fictional setting of 1984, e.g. "the dystopian future wherein total surveillance to control the narrative" appearing to have become reality.
