I believe this is part of the premise of Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.

That said, whether it's one company or a few that are well-aligned doesn't really matter for the purposes of that book.

The world most people think described by "1984" is actually described by Brave New World.

The way i see it is that both had it partially right. BNW for those that conform, 1984 for those that don't.

Probably the most realistic of the dystopian novels I've read and way ahead of it's time.
