George Orwell has an 'MI5' dossier:
George Orwell's left-wing views and bohemian clothes led British police to label him a communist - but the MI5 spy agency stepped in to correct that view, the writer's newly released security file reveals.
The secret file that MI5 kept on the author from 1929 until his death in 1950 is being declassified today by the National Archives.
It reveals that in contrast to the fictional "Big Brother", the cruel and all-seeing secret police of Orwell's classic 1984, MI5 took a surprisingly benign view of the writer.

But is is posited by some that Orwell (Blair) was treated kindly by MI5 not because he was harmless, but because
he
in fact himself,
WAS MI5
.
In addition, there is evidence linking him to the Fabian Society -- but not as an ardent member... instead, there is evidence to suggest that Orwell was more than a mole ... he wrote the book 1984 as a stark but blatant expose on the Fabian Society's agenda.
It is rumored that his first draft was written as a no-fiction recounting but the publicher's deemed it too extreme for their reader's and instead suggested that he rewrite it as fiction so it would be more acceptable to mainstream tastes...
The reason 1984 seems so prescient is
because
it is!
