Pretty amazing they were able to identify it and nail it back in 1988.

It is actually quite prescient if it has been vetted.

I didn't think this was an character of Orwell's work, was it?

Prognostication my dear chap.

I wasn't willing to investigate deeply, but this doesn't sound much like the OP.

WELCOME TO THE DARK FUTURE

The Corporations control the world from their skyscraper fortresses, enforcing their rule with armies of cyborg assassins. On the Street, Boostergangs roam a shattered urban wilderness, killing and looting. The rest of the world is a perpetual party, as fashion-model beautiful techies rub biosculpt jobs with battle armored roadwarriors in the hottest clubs, sleaziest bars and meanest streets this side of the Postholocaust. The Future never looked so bad.

But you can change it. You've got interface plugs in your wrists, weapons in your arms, lasers in your eyes, bio-chip programs screaming in your brain. You're wired in, cyberenhanced and solid state as you can take it to the fatal Edge where only the toughest and coolest can go. Because you're CYBERPUNK.

Cyberpunk: the original roleplaying game of the dark future; a world of corporate assassins, heavy-metal heroes and brain burning cyberhackers, packed with cutting edge technology and intense urban action. Within this book, you'll find everything you need to tackle the mean streets of the 2000's -- in a game system that combines the best in realistic action and playability.

So the answer is what. Homogeneity and a return to the supposed good old days of ....when. 1950? 40? 30? Before ?

Another option would be to embrace diversity, and really understand what “from many, one” really means. To understand what equality actually is.

Or not.

Noted. But he was born in India and of a different sort of family line...

Eric Arthur Blair was born on 25 June 1903 in Motihari, Bihar, British India.[8] His great-grandfather, Charles Blair, was a wealthy country gentleman in Dorset who married Lady Mary Fane, daughter of the Earl of Westmorland, and had income as an absentee landlord of plantations in Jamaica.[9] His grandfather, Thomas Richard Arthur Blair, was a clergyman.[10] Although the gentility passed down the generations, the prosperity did not; Eric Blair described his family as "lower-upper-middle class".
