The book was published in the 1940's, and Orwell was ahead of his time. I guess he predicted life was going to be like that in 1984. Well, it wasn't, but it is now....in not quite the same ways. |
they called it
microconcrete back in the day in the Bloc (buildings with microphones with them).
I wonder what would happen if the Stalin style regime allied American Big Pharma. You know, they would watch you, but they'd feed you pills if you realize it or at least you would think it
surely can't be true. So you are watched, but don't care (sorta like an effed up version of Big Brother, only nobody would win milions and those eliminated from the game would end in Siberia).
well, we have ACTA and SOPA and PIPA and whatnot and surely if they
could get into our bedrooms, I am sure they
would. They would cover it with some nicety nice argument too, for the country, for rights of our pets and children... Ya know, maybe I am not paranoid, maybe I am just informed. Sometimes I
wish I was making all this **** up.
