I do think it’s how people reading today experience these stories that matters most. The writers and most of readers of the time are all dead now.
What I most remember while reading 1984 was the psychologically oppressive atmosphere. You really get a sense of how terrible it would be if there was no privacy in your life. This is what makes the ending of 1984 in my opinion the bleakest ending of a novel I’ve ever read.
