1984
Judging from readings of George Orwell's novel 1984, it has been stated that he feared that a totalitarian society would come true eventually. People might lose their freedom of speech, thoughts and feelings, and these might come under the control of a single powerful government or organisation. This would be similar to how the society in 1984 was depicted as one where "the Party" monitored every action and speech of the people and had control of the people through physical, emotional and psychological manipulations.
