It already happened, Orwell just got some of the details wrong.

- We don't fight over northern Africa so much as central Asia.
- Everything we do is watched, though not through our tv sets, but what we type and where we go on the internet, or texts.
- It's still 1st world versus 2nd with everyone else in the middle, but it's NATO/EU versus former Warsaw Pact/China.
- Thoughtcrime is all too real.
- The NSA spies on its own citizens, rather than looking outward, while saying they look outward, but they're not so foolish to call themselves something contradictory.
- Doublethink is used all the time by our government to get re-elected, not so much the proles and outer party.

Regarding Newspeak/Novlang, every scandal in the western world is now suffixed with -gate, because the media are morons. CNN only asks if things are good or bad (they might as well say ungood), and we use fewer and fewer English words as time goes on, while constantly making new words by contracting two others, portmanteaus, always stupid ones. "Twerk", "netizen", "netiquette", etc.
