Robot dreams

Some similarities that I noticed between "1984" and "Robot Dreams" are that the robot is told what he can and can not do. Winston and the robot are one in the same where they defy the rules and do what they want instead of falling under the status quo. A difference is that the so called "government" in "Robot Dreams" isn't as harsh until he gets to out of control, as in "1984" Winston gets much further in defying Big Brother. I think they would have a very interesting conversation consisting of many things, like politics and the future. For example in the future they may agree that the countries we know today will not exist and become one giant super power. Then again, I think they would argue about who would run the world how it would be ran.
