Beyond 1984

Emanuele Millemaci explained to me that lo stato Italiano is following me.

Big Brother only watched Winston Smith when he was at home. Now they can follow you if you have your cell phone on.

Modern cellular technology would have ruined the book. Since there would have been no hope of hiding, Smith and Julia* would never have tried anything.

don't try to call me. I'm keeping my cell phone off.
