Many of the ideas explained and illustrated in Orwell's 1984 come directly from Hayek's The Road to Serfdom, which Orwell read and reviewed.

Most Rightwingers lean towards Brave New World for a dystopian outcome for what befuddles us, but it's an interesting revelation to remind that Orwell--who saw the same things happening, only that he wanted to do something about it, often wrong as he was in action--might have seen another out and put it into accessible fiction far better than Rand.
