The idea of a government that controls its populous through surveillance and thought control had been a popular topic in speculative fiction. Most forms of this fiction springs from George Orwell’s 1984,

Unfortunately there is nothing speculative about this. The idea of a government controlling its population through surveillance is as old as mankind and they have always been trying to create new ways throughout history. G. O. just applied all the scientific and technological developments that were available at the time he was living to present us with that future. Mind control tests with drugs and through propaganda broadcast on TV were already something "normal" at that time since World War II had already ended. And he was no stranger to all that.
