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

Solarpunk is a movement focused on a positive, ecological vision for a future where technology is used for human-centric and ecocentric purposes. It is a literary, artistic and aesthetic sub-genre and is also closely tied to eco-political activism. Solarpunk narratives have a distinctly positive and utopian foundation in contrast to the often dystopian visions found within other "punk" science fiction genres.
Solarpunk is a literary movement, a hashtag, a flag, and a statement of intent about the future we hope to create.

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.

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
