If you think how technology has become so entwined in our lives since 1984 was written in 1948, this story becomes real life.
Indeed it has!
But; the wise Solomon once wrote:
Ecclesiastes 10:20 NIV
Do not revile the king even in your thoughts,
or curse the rich in your bedroom,
because a bird in the sky may carry your words,
and a bird on the wing may report what you say.
