"Writing an introduction to the centenary edition of Orwell's 1984, 
Thomas Pynchon describes 
<http://books.guardian.co.uk/reviews/classics/0,6121,948332,00.html> The 
Internet as "a development that promises social control on a scale those 
quaint old 20th-century tyrants with their goofy moustaches could only 
dream about"."
