Re: This is the seed that will spawn Big Brother (Amaranth Rose)

Really? Alerting you to cyber attacks like the MyDoom virus is the first step? Hmmmmm.

1984 is a fascinating book (the movie version with John Hurt is especially good) but the overall trend of the last 50 years has been toward more freedom, not less. And that kind of Soviet-style police state just isn't in the cards for the U.S. If nothing else, we have the Soviet failure as an abject lesson in what trying to control everything does to a society.

Besides, who would want to? Who are you afraid is trying to turn America into 1984? If you have a group in mind I hope you have a psychologically realistic motivation for them. If you're description sounds like cartoon supervillians then maybe you should rethink it.
