George Orwell foresaw a world where everyone was spied upon. “According to the latest studies, Britain has a staggering 4.2million CCTV cameras – one for every 14 people in the country. Use of spy cameras in modern-day Britain is now a chilling mirror image of Orwell’s fictional world. On the wall outside his former residence – flat number 27B – where Orwell lived until his death in 1950, an historical plaque commemorates the anti-authoritarian author. And within 200 yards of the flat, there are 32 CCTV cameras, scanning every move.”
