@DejahEntendu@bookstodon read #1984 in, well, 1984, as a 15 year old. My father gave it to me when I was long into computer already. #1984 is often cited when it comes to gov power but Orwell got the surveillance so wrong in other ways. We do not have hidden devices behind screens but willingly place them into our home (looking at you, Alexa), use them every day for our "free" Internet in return. Surveillance capitalism, much worse then what Orwell describes and entirely overlooked by him.
