George Orwell's book "1984" successfully predicted the state of the world today. If there's hope, it lies in the proles.

BBC reporter turned influential author.
I'm glad kids are being forced to read Orwell. It's a lot better than the other crap they'd be reading otherwise.

Famous writter of what appears to be modern society's story told over 50 years ago. Told in his book, 1984, the ideas of a Police State. His book Animal Farm is the story of Stalin's USSR and is a form of "easy reading" compared to 1984. But, 1984 is one of the greatest novels ever written and has rightly deserved it's spot to be forcefully read in classrooms.
Thought Police is an sercet organization from his work 1984.
War is Peace. Slavery is Freedom. Ignorance is Strength.
Animal Farm is about the USSR.
Shooting An Elephant is a short story telling about his personal life while in British India
George Orwell was a genius.

A genuis - definately ahead of his time and with the ability to predict what life will become like - authoritarian via a police state, with mind control being present.
1984 is a testament to the thinking of the non supressed mind.
If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.

When a person, usually a man, follows a girl into an open, person-less field without her knowing, and stabs her in the ass with a banana.
Guy 1: Dude, that girl looks like she's headed into an open, person-less field. I should totally pull a george orwell banana stalking.
Guy 2: Here, take this banana I was going to enjoy with my lunch.
*LATER*
Girl: OW! THERE'S A BANANA IN MY ASS! WHO THE FUCK DID THAT?
