What is a mordern day country that resembles the book 1984?

Question:

Answers:
China

What people do is monitored. Including on their computers. Their Gov't blocks them from websites that criticize Chinese communism or are otherwise inappropriate.

People are locked up for saying or believing anything different than the party line.

The state runs the media.

The state controls everything! They even limit the number of children you can have! (Only one per couple is allowed.)
I guess any country that uses the cctv cameras. So USA, UK etc..

If not, a country that is controlled so much by the government, i.e in a dictatorship. I guess Afghanistan was much like that, and also China

Knowledge is power. That is why in 1984 language is being systematically destroyed. This denial of language is the denial of thought itself. Reality is then more easily shaped by the oppressor. Remember dictators, such as Pol Pot destroy the educated first. This is why the film and book are so important, they are still very RELEVANT! In fact I think the progression of western society will become a mixture of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World and 1984. Either way we are being manipulated and controlled and these books show you how. America has the 'Patriot Act' that was rushed through congress although human rights groups had many serious doubts about the act. In New Zealand we have a Government that is similary becoming too involved in the regulation of peoples lives. BIG BROTHER IS STILL ALIVE!
