Why has 1984 enjoyed a resurgence today?

1984 contains the so many themes and motifs that are thriving today that some people call this book rather prophetic. Terms like "fake news", Big Brother, double speak....are especially relevant in todays political and social climate. People are consuming entertainment and misinformation as factual making reality anything a person chooses to believe. O'Brien makes this abundantly clear to Winston during his "re-education". 'If I wished,' O'Brien had said, 'I could float off this floor like a soap bubble.'
