>"There are therefore two great problems which the Party is concerned to
>solve. One is how to discover against his will, what another human being is
>thinking, and the other is how to kill several hundred million people in a
>few seconds without giving warning beforehand. In so far as scientific
>research still continues, this is its subject matter. The scientist of
>today is either a mixture of psychologist and inquisitor, studying with
>extraordinary minuteness the meaning of facial expressions, gestures, and
>tones of voice, and testing the truth-producing effects of drugs, shock
>therapy, hypnosis, and physical torture; or he is a chemist, physicist, or
>biologist concerned only with such branches of his special subject as are
>relevant to the taking of life."
>--George Orwell, 1984
