We hear a lot about surveillance these days. NSA people know all about us, at least if they want to. People still talk about Big Brother and use Nineteen Eighty-Four as a common point of reference for understanding how we are being watched. But this is probably not a perfect image of the situation we are living in now. Should we update our nightmares, and how can we do that? How is science fiction today addressing these issues?
