... and the clocks were striking thirteen. REFUSE TO BE AFRAID. Free yourself. Dream.
Within 200 yards of the home where George Orwell wrote Nineteen Eighty-four are 32 surveillance cameras."According to the latest studies, Britain has a staggering 4.2million CCTV cameras - one for every 14 people in the country - and 20 per cent of cameras globally. It has been calculated that each person is caught on camera an average of 300 times daily."Read all about it.

FELLOW TRAVELERS
More and more the ol' U.S. of A. seems like a cross between 1984 and Fahrenheit 451 - Where's Simon Jester or V when you need them? This little spot on the 'Net is meant as a place to explore ways to carve out what freedom we can in this nanny-government, corporate Big Brother world - and enjoy the bread and circuses along the way. Who am I? Well, Tom Paine once wrote, "Who the Author of this Production is, is wholly unnecessary to the Public, as the Object for Attention is the DOCTRINE ITSELF, not the MAN."

Wait... did you get my good side?
300 times daily?! Geez Louise! That gives new meaning to, "I'm ready for my closeup, Mr. Deville."
Maybe the Brits need to take advantage of all those screen shots to gross out the watchers-- pick their noses with joy, chew with their mouthes open, use naughty hand gestures. Oh... wait a minute. Doesn't Britain also use speakers to loudly instruct people who are acting in a manner the watchers deem rude?
Sheesh.
