1984 is  not about government control or the Bush government. And I
don't know if you have read the entire Pynchon Foreword (or the novel),
but it does  not focus on this particular  aspect (it's a particular
aspect not what the novel is About) of the novel.

1984 is a work of literature.  It is a novel that is tangled in English
Literature. To read this novel as some prediction about our times is to
play O'Brian's part. Read it. If you don't wake up with Shakespeare on
your lips, read it again.
