Worse than that.. the billboards were watching you.

I mean go look at modern digital billboards, a bunch of 'em have cameras built in.

yeah, it's a bit creepy how on the nose 1984 was. maybe Orwell was a time-traveler.

I remember talking to my dad about 1984 -- the book not the year -- and being somewhat surprised he didn't find it to be either prescient or honestly much of an interesting book in any case. While when I read it it definitely filled me with a sense of dread. I suppose "in his day" much of the predictions had not yet come true, and he didn't quite grasp how now they most definitely have.
