George Orwell’s ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’ written in 1949 appears to have
entered the world’s zeitgeist almost 30 years later than the author’s
prognostication. The satirical novel set in the fictional country of
Oceania describes a dystopian society tyrannized by omnipresent
government surveillance. Today, the TV Show ‘Person of Interest’
introduces a similar theme by replacing Orwell’s ‘Big Brother’ with ‘The
Machine.‘ Is a world of paranoia within our midst?
