New Memoryhole story : Reinventing Big Brother [8 June,2003]
1984 opera [4 May,2005]
"The sensitive person’s hostility to the machine is in one sense unrealistic, because of the obvious fact that the machine has come to stay. But as an attitude of mind there is a great deal to be said for it. The machine has got to be accepted, but it is probably better to accept it rather as one accepts a drug – that is, grudgingly and suspiciously.", George Orwell, The Road to Wigan Pier
