AI has been able to write relatively complex stories for a while now. I remember reading about an AI-generated story winning a writing contest around 2015 or 2016, and I'm sure it had impressive capabilites even before that. Personally, I'm not overly worried. I think AI will have applications in the writing process, certainly, but it will still be a tool for writers, rather than something that replaces them completely. In general, I think that ought to be true for AI's relationship with humanity in general, provided we regulate the technology well and adjust our economic structure according to the new reality it brings--though that might be asking a lot from us, now that I think about it.

Get Oprah to talk about it?

Wow, the video games were so popular that they inspired a Netflix show and novelizations? That's impressive.

Jokes aside, though, while I personally like the Netflix adaptation, I've got to agree that the books are much, much better.

Yes and no. The rise of the Party is mentioned in bits and pieces later on in the novel, though it's never laid out in any concrete and long sequence of events, and the parts that are told are from people or sources who are intrinsically unreliable. That last bit isn't really a spoiler, since everyone in 1984, by virtue of falsfiled history and the fallibility of human memory, is essentially unreliable to a degree.
