I disagree.
I think we're heading to a "Huxleyan" distopia were any
"Spring" or uprising can be preempted by promoting rampant
consumerism and the infinite distractions of the internet.
But the actions of these governments recently says otherwise. They all clearly want to implement the Orwellian big brother system. All of them are working together to lock down every from of communication, and make complementary laws that target cybercriminals that might circumvent the system. These governments are demanding total power. If you encrypt the data on your data on your hard drive, or use a PGP-based email system you WILL be deemed a terrorist, and subject to all USA anti-terrorist laws. You don't even need to be a US citizen in this scenario, any member of this World Government will gladly hand you over to the Americans and send you to Guantanamo for not relieving your hard drive's PGP encryption key.
This is absolutely NOT the Huxley scenario.
