The whole thing with the telescreens being secret cameras monitored by humans 24/7 could be reframed as Winston's paranoia. Same with every child being a communist spy.

How I'd adapt it is, I'd keep it the same except change it so that at the end, he escapes Oceania and defects to one of the other nations. Give the reveal that his account has been some sorta yeonmi-park style propaganda piece.

The camera pans out from the end of him giving his account as a guest on a talk show, revealing it was playing on a tv in a shop window that some grubby urchins are watching through the glass

One of them turns to the others and says "gee, life might suck here, but thank god we don't live over there!"
