I am not sure what to make of Orwell's essay. I think it is a fight between people v/s government and who is a winner is not clear. In USA government has massively expanded in last 100 year under so many pretexts, Americans are significantly less free and most of it seems to be achieved by government using sheer propaganda and fear mongering. But when I look at my home country technology has helped us escape the government propaganda, understand our own history better, realize the scam of the ruling party that virtually rules all the years post independence and feel far more hopeful about future. Indians are better informed, more free and are able to exercise their choices because of technology.
