A look at a bleak future where anonymity is a crime, data a commodity and all who take on the state are publicly ruined or dispatched to an outside world to live on scraps. Every element is what is happening now but twenty years hence. So bets placed on prison fights become the online phenomenon Panopticon TV where subscribers can 'adopt a felon' and a crumbling health service is reduced to rusty ATM machines that dole out medicare. Just how can a citizen defend themselves when the data-miners know their every move and preference? This is Julian Assange territory, where the State may be a crypto a dinosaur, but still has enough tricks up its sleeve to prevail and the numbers of downtrodden, inactive enough to change nothing. The message is clear: We could all end up trapped in the belly of this techno beast. the choice is still ours. Just not for long.
