What Blair (Orwell) was writing about in _1984_, he saw in 1948.
The book is allegorical satire directed against a contem****ary
movement
in Great Britain.  He was, at great personal risk, casting a literary
light
onto certain aspects of post-war society in the UK that he found
chilling.
He addressed the abject poverty that was rampant in Britain at the
time
he was writing.  He illustrated the widespread paranoia that
prevailed, especially
the irrational fear of the rise of an insidious form of English
Socialism, and the
homogenous culture in Britain that engendered a spirit of surveillance
among
citizens and suspicion of anyone not conforming to the conservative
standards
of what was, at the time, a crumbling remnant of a monarchy that could
have
easily become a totalitarian state.   British nationalism, soviet-
style communism,
pre-***ual-revolution ***ual repression, anti-semitism, and
censor****p, are the
themes of 1984, and all of these were current themes on the mind of
George Orwell,
magnified no doubt by his severe bouts with tuberculosis that were
killing him as he
wrote the novel depicting thematic issues facing his contem****aries,
while, in the
spirit of satirists since time immemorial, setting the story in a
different time in order
to insulate the work from the effects that his contem****ary censors
could have had.

It is plausible that Orwell's book was based on the idea of a
surveillance society in a bizarre
and dysfunctional totalitarian state, 40 years in the future from the
time of writing.  That plausibility
is the point, and is precisely why the reader should understand the
novel as a criticism of socio-political
problems in the author's contem****ary world.

He didn't "see it coming".  He saw it already, at that moment.
