Life imitates art (or at least classic TV)

Britain has become one of the most surveilled societies in human history. Its network of spy cameras and snooping devices makes Orwell's Oceania look downright primitive. Now, snoopers are being recruited to spy in the comfort of their own homes. You can even win prizes spying on your neighbors, strangers, anybody. How long before we're hearing about the snooping addiction? And strangely enough, hardly anybody in Britain is alarmed about becoming a nation of snoops. Next step: a nation of snitches.

Fact: Read about it here
