George Orwell’s classic, 1984, Big Brother is omnipresent. The
protagonist, Winston Smith, buys a diary and hides in an alcove at his
home to write thoughts that are critical of Big Brother. He must do this
because there is a telescreen in his room that watches his every move.
Today, homes have smart televisions that are recording audio and video
of its owners, Amazon’s Alexa—a virtual assistant—has constant
audio-pickup, enabling to record every conversation had within earshot.
Have we willingly invited Big Brother into our homes with full access to
our lives? Will we be subjugated to the wishes of the Party? How much
longer do we have before we no longer control any facet of our lives?
