Lewis saw it
At NPR, Alan Greenblatt looks at the supposedly new "revelations" about NSA in light of dystopian authors. He gets Orwell's intentions right, which is unusual for modern reviewers. But he forgets the most appropriate dystopian....
"What would have surprised Orwell was not that governments are collecting huge amounts of data about individuals, but that private actors are as well."
True. But CS Lewis wouldn't be surprised. His NICE is exactly Google.
