Big Data, Big Brother exposes just how closely today’s reality mirrors two of the most well-known dystopian novels of the 20th century: Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and George Orwell’s 1984.


 

Welcome to a world where humans are constantly under surveillance. Where designer children are genetically selected, drones hover the skies, companies implant microchips in their employees, and artificial intelligence poses a direct challenge to our own.


 

Featuring rich archives and contributions from some of the most influential minds around today, including Orwell’s son Richard Blair, Big Data, Big Brother leads us through the premonitions of the two authors’ imaginations to question society today.
