What happens in our future can change the meaning of what has happened in our past. - John Twelve Hawks

Any monitoring system that is invisible, pervasive, automatic, and permanent gives those in power the means to create a modern surveillance state. And these new states will have an authority that has detached itself from ethics and ideology. Politicians and dictators will continue to make speeches, but their words will become meaningless. This new system will see and know us. It will even predict our future behavior.

Both dogs and humans know when we’ve been caged.

The Grid still exists even if you don't see the lines.
