A little clarification, after world war I Bernays wanted to use war propaganda during peacetime to manipulate people and opinions which he thought were irrational and dangerous, and coined the name public relations to avoid the stigma propaganda had due its use by Germans during the war. He's also the guy behind "engineering of consent", the use of press releases, fear of communism during cold war, and much much more. I'm not so sure we've been in 1984, there is a valid case[1] for us living in a brave new world or at least a mix of both 1984 and a brave new world.
