Welcome to 1984. Not that we weren’t already there, just here’s your proper welcome and your tinfoil hat.
It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself—anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face… was itself a punishable offense. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: facecrime…
- George Orwell, 1984
Ah well. I watched too much tv anyway.
