In the novels "1984" and "Fahrenheit 451", the future of our society is predicted to be a "dystopia", or an undesirable world that is imperfect, and nobody wishes to live in it. Many ideas that are raised in both stories from the authors can come off as possible warnings for the real future in our world, and we should possibly take them into consideration that they could possibly happen to us one day.
The main warnings that the author in "1984" is trying to send, is that in the future, we as human beings may not control our own lives anymore. They will all be in the government's hands, and we will all be in one big "party" together, and those who are not with us will be "prones", or outsiders. Also, in the future, we will no longer have the privacy that we were once blessed with. There will be telescreens that monitor us in all of our homes, so we are not exactly free to do whatever we want anymore, not even in the privacy of our own homes. This is not even the worst that could happen to invade our lives, because also in the future, "thought police" come into play, and with them, the government can basically read our minds, and know what we are thinking 24/7. In other words, if one were to think something wrong, and maybe not even have ment it, they could face harsh consequences and cruel punishment for it.
In conclusion, the author is basically trying to warn us that one day in the future, our lives could possibly change, and we all will be living in a dystopia, and these are all prime examples of what could happen.
