Is there a possibility that the American society can develop to be like the society in the novel "1984"? if there is, what are signs of it happening...

This is the
first of a three part documentary.I like to show the documentary to my students after they
finish the novel.They are usually so shocked at the similarities that they want to write letters
to their congressman.

It's great because I ask them what is similar about
this book and American society and they say, "nothing". Then I show them the
film.
