Beyond dystopia

in reflexions •  6 years ago  (edited)

Generally in the dystopian books there are always some hope of resistance, or at least the protagonist can try to resist, like in the book 1984. With the advancement of technology, the resistance to authoritarianism is getting harder every day, and it may become impossible to resist the Big Brother.
In the streets we have the security cameras, we have cameras in the stores and at our own houses, and I fear that the presence of cameras inside classrooms will become a trend. With this kind of monitor technology we already can identify a person by its face or even by its way of walk. Now imagine if in the future we develop a machine that can read thoughts, with this kind of machine the last barrier that protect our privacies will fall, and when that happen we will be very close of a totalitarian State with absolute control of the population.
Maybe we can still resist and create new tools to protect our privacy and freedom, but if we reach the moment when the defeat is inevitable, I strongly advise the freedom lovers to either run to the isolated parts of the world or commit suicide as the last act of force of your will.
