1984 and the future

I am currently reading the book 1984 by George Orwell.

Is the future shown in 1984 a possible one?

1984 tells the story of a horrible yet possible future, some describe it as a "negative utopia". Being a very old book, the story is set in what the character believes to be the year 1984 which is set a few decades after the book was written. The world in 1984 is, as the whole "negative utopia" thing would suggest, not a very nice place to live. The world is split into 3 areas: Oceania, Eurasia, and East-asia. According to the main character, Winston, there is always some kind of war going on between them. Everything in 1984 is being controlled by "the party" which is like a huge government party that is really a lot like a dictatorship. If any body is talking bad about the party, acting unusual, or doing any thing that the Party considers to be wrong that person will "disappear". How do they know when somebody is doing something they don't like you ask? At all times, the Party is watching everybody with cameras to try and catch people that need to be dealt with. The party also controls how many things people are allowed and there often isn't enough resources for every one to live well.

So as I was saying at the beginning of this blog, is this a possible future? Well, in London and some other British cities practically every inch of the city is on camera at all times, so that would be possible. As everyone knows there are always wars going on between countries similar to how the 3 regions 1984 are. A lot of countries are communist even today and heavily limit how much citizens are allowed. A lot of these communist countries will even make people "vanish" like the Party if they are doing things that aren't allowed.
I hate to say it but unfortunately the future shown in 1984 seems indeed possible to me, let's just hope it never happens.
