From the dystopian novel 1984, published in 1949
Eric Arthur Blair’s (George Orwell’s real name) most popular novel transcends genres and frequently coincides with current events, and for good reason. The surveillance cameras installed throughout the novel's totalitarian world have been a reality since 1942, three years after the book was published. These days, people happily film their most insignificant moments and share them with the world. What would Orwell say?
