The book '1984' tells the tale of a futuristic society in which the government is always spying on it's citizens. In 1948, when the book was written, the Cold War was a real concern and it was only a year before the McCarthy era of suspicion and witch hunting for communists. So, the book 1984, became an extension of the social and political climate in 1948.
