Subject: What year are we technologically to 1930s scifi writers?

I'd say 1975 sums up old school scifi writer's expectations. How soon is 1984?

if you were to go back in time and bring forth a 30s sci-fi writer and show him our world, he would kill himself because his art deco fantasy was just that, a fantasy.

It seems like we might be as close to 1984 as we'll ever be... it's really a matter of politics since the technology in that book wasn't all that impressive from what I remember.
