The Wikipedia entry for George Orwell says that he was born in 1903. My theory is that he was actually a time traveller, and based his prescient novel, 1984, written in 1949, on a world he had actually seen before he travelled back in time to avoid having to live through it. His description of how things would be in this Brave New World (a dystopian novel by Aldous Huxley) is uncannily accurate. The picture tells all ye know and all ye need to know. Mr Orwell must have known!
