  >Not really. What do you have in mind? I was thinking about it, but could not get anything fixed to 1984 that could make it a relevant date.

    1984 wasn't about "this is the big event that happened in 1984". It was about "The year is 1984, and history has led us to this point."

  Anthony Burgess writes somewhere or other that Orwell wanted to use 1948 but was talked out of it.
