    How long will it take until we reach the surveillance like in 1984? 5 years? 10 years? What’s going on everywhere?

      1984 was a great book, but its Brave New World that captures the current state of things a bit better. The main difference being that in Brave New World people welcome the technologies as conveniences, ignoring the implications until it’s too late.

      That has already begun, we are at least 10 years in.
