April bookclub questions

ChatGpt created this list (curated by humans of course!)  Kinda basic but I have the strong feeling that our group will come up with many interesting questions, without much help.
Our book this month is "1984" by George Orwell (you've probably heard of him?)
Here's what we have so far.  Please add more, and comment any way you choose.

​As for study questions, here are some suggestions for your book club:
Themes of Surveillance and Privacy:
How does the Party's surveillance system influence the behavior of citizens? Do you see any parallels to contemporary issues with surveillance or privacy?
Language and Thought Control:
What role does Newspeak play in the Party’s control of the population? Can you think of any real-world examples of language being used as a tool for controlling thought or suppressing dissent?
The Nature of Power:
What does the Party's slogan "War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength" mean? How does this paradoxical thinking reflect the Party’s methods of control?
The Character of Winston Smith:
How does Winston's journey throughout the book illustrate the struggle between individual thought and oppressive government control? Do you think Winston’s rebellion was doomed from the start?
Psychological Manipulation:
The concept of “doublethink” allows people to hold contradictory beliefs at the same time. How does this apply to Winston’s experience and what does it say about human psychology under totalitarian regimes?
The Role of O'Brien:
O'Brien is both a mentor and a torturer. What do you think his character says about the nature of power? Is he a true believer in the Party or just someone who wants control for the sake of control?
The Ending:
How do you interpret the novel’s ending? Is Winston's fate a warning, a commentary on hope, or a reflection of the total power of the Party?
==========================
I also asked why Orwell listed “God is Power” as part of the brainwashed thoughts that popped into Winston’s head:
“Great question! The phrase "God is Power" in 1984 reflects the Party's attempt to control not just political and social aspects of life but also the very concept of truth and reality. It’s a manipulation of religion or any higher, transcendent authority, turning it into something that serves the Party's control. The Party demands absolute obedience and loyalty, much like traditional religious figures have often been revered for their power over believers. The statement is not suggesting Orwell’s personal belief but rather illustrating how totalitarian regimes create their own "truths" to maintain power, regardless of their logical or moral inconsistencies.”
