Recently, officials in Massachusetts have been considering a plan to cache information gathered by police car license plate scanning technology.
If this plan or something similar is instituted, people may legitimately fear the strong parallels to the totalitarian society described in George Orwell's well-known book, 1984. But, if such a plan succeeds, it will largely be due to the fact that most of us will be too busy pursuing other more interesting things, a la Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, to be bothered to stop it.
