Foreword "Goofy Mustaches"

[Dave Monroe]

   "What has staedily, insidiously improved since
then, of course, making humanist arguments almost
irrelevant, is the technology.  We must not be too
distracted by the clunkiness of the means of
surveillance current in Winston Smith's era.  In 'our'
1894, after all, the integrated circuit chip was less
than a decade old, and almost embarrassingly primitive
next to the wonders of computer technology circa 2003,
most notably the Internet, a development that promises
social control on a scale those quaint old
twentieth-century tyrants with their goofy mustaches
could only dream about." ("Foreword," p. xvi)
