The books was supposed to be what happened if England turned Communist with a world structure that makes less sense then the original Red Dawn. Some aspects could apply to European and American societies today.

Doublethink (i.e. immigrants are lazy, but also immigrants are stealing all the jobs. How can they be lazy and be stealing all the jobs? This is the idea of double think as it talks about a person holding two contractionary ideas at the same time.

It talks about mass surveillance, censorship, and facts being replaced by subjective concepts.

The book has very little depth then all other dystopia books and the world is thinly held together. The story is short and not much goes on between beginning and end.

The propagandized people are brainwashes NPCS with less thought and the Thought Police agents are just plain bad guys with a very vague purpose for their action.

The book also comes to the opinion that by creating a controlled language, Newspeak that is dumbed down and with a restrictive vocabulary that will somehow help stop people from thinking critically. This obvious does not actually make sense as critical thinking is different then vocabulary as it is a process of looking at the world.
