George Orwell Under Surveillance
After we created our science fiction themed Not-Book, which is based on George Orwell’s novel Nineteen Eighty-four, I’ve been more aware of the little places Orwell references pop up in everyday life. This article about the amount of camera surveillance around Orwell’s London house was staggering. But then London does have the reputation of having the most monitored population in the world.

Chicago is not too far behind, though I haven’t seen the awful video of the police brutality on the barmaid. Public transportation is huge and must be monitored constantly unfortunately.
