| Jan 16, 2022 at 22:07 | comment | added | Mary | Remember that actual police states depend heavily on fear of surveillance, instead of fact. Many events slip through the cracks, but then, those involved don't dare brag in case that doesn't. Publicize the ones that get caught, hint that they were under surveillance for a time, and create fear. That's the only plausible route now, without improved pattern recognition. | |

| Sep 21, 2018 at 15:55 | comment | added | Chloe | I would say, 1984. East Germany had a well developed spy network (watch 'The Lives of Others') and Max Headroom was a 'virtual' talking head introduced in 1984. It's not hard to imagine if a government devoted its full resources it could achieve what's described in the book. (However I don't believe it would be sustainable.) | |
