In fact, whenever you bring it up in a debate about surveillance, people instantaneously dismiss it as inapplicable, and what they say is, "Oh, well in '1984,' there were monitors in people's homes, they were being watched at every given moment, and that has nothing to do with the surveillance state that we face."
Totuși când aduci discuția  despre supraveghere, oamenii instantaneu resping ideea  ca neaplicabilă, spunând: „Ah, în „1984” existau monitoare  în casele oamenilor, ei erau continuu observați, n-are nicio legătură cu supravegherea din zilele noastre.”
