Here’s how we learn Orwellian newspeak like “War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength” and spelling and thinking they are oh so old-fashioned if you can merely type OMG, YOLO and ROFLMAO.

As for the prophecies of Aldous Huxley, well, a lot of things go on in his “Brave New World” that are weird and far-fetched, but so help me, all those people genetically designed to be regimented into total social conformity and subservient to the groupthink of the one percent, they could easily have walked right out Huxley and straight into Roger Ailes’ Fox News playbook or Rush Limbaugh’s studio.

But I digress, just to point out that the state is not alone in stalking our imagination and preying on our privacy. Try this antidote to Big Brother’s big chill: “Dragnet Nation” by Julia Angwin.
