Foreword to _1984_ "surveillance of ordinary citizens"

[Malignd]

<<WASHINGTON - The Pentagon is developing an urban
surveillance system that would use computers and
thousands of cameras to track, record and analyze the
movement of every vehicle in a foreign city.>>

[...] the camera, a development that promises social
control on a scale those quaint old 20th-century
tyrants with their goofy moustaches could only dream
about.[...]

--Thomas Pynchon, Foreword to _1984_
