    George Orwell only made two mistakes:

    • He was off by 42 years
    • The surveillance is conducted by the private sector in cahoots with the fascist state for profit rather than directly by the state.

      Third mistake. He forgot to tell us that his 1984 was the sequel to Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World… we could have avoided this if we didnt become mindless consumers.
