You knew it was coming.
1984 was fiction and never thought possible since there was no technology to make it work. Well today in 2022 the governments have the technology to make 1984 into reality.
Will they use it to control people, of course they will.
“1984” is old technology for the most part!
North Korea is a close analog and has been for decades.
I think “Brave New World” is the direction we are unfortunately going.
