You are absolutely right. I can't edit to correct myself. The redefinition of language is more `Orwellian` than the all-spying. My point is that the spying in 1984 is most of the time seen as being done by Big Brother and its agents against the people but it was quite clear to me when reading it that it was more about everyone keeping an eye on everyone to report to BB, people were doing the watching and there was no escape (I seem to remember there's a line about how they don't know if the camera work but that doesn't matter because you can't prove it and people could be spied on by anyone anyway). Maybe it's time I pick it up again.
