Of course the man was before his time,
he, wanted to call it 1948, but the publishers told him that was too close to their own time and changed the title.

The use of children as state spies is relevant today, also the fact that they are eating artificial meat and sugar substitutes.

It's only imagination Margaret, the use of children as spies has been relevant throughout history, it is as relevant now as it was in the stone ages, no more or less serious.
Don't worry about artificial foods, just like vegetarians if we eat the wrong things we will die from lack of the correct diet, that is how we evolve. (6 billion people all eating a similar diet on one planet can't all be wrong!).
