[1984] Should a solar flare or EMP fry all of the surveillance tech used by the party, what would happen as a result?

I don't know exactly how advanced the camera/recording, etc tech is in this universe (hell it might have been clockwork) but what if one day it all went offline suddenly. Do you think there would be a revolt? Perhaps the proles would rise up when access to such things are gone?

If we assume that 1984's technology would be similar to what Orwell would expect in his day, the electronics would most likely be vacuum tube based and thus highly resistant to EMP.

IMO, Ingsoc isn't sustainable in the long run. There is very little room for problem solving and creating solutions to new, unthought problems.

The World State in Brave New World, on the other hand...
