Is George Orwell's 1984 coming true? / Part 1

from TWO REPORTERS · host David K. Shipler & Daniel Zwerdling

It's not just fiction anymore: the frightening vision of mass surveillance that Orwell painted has come to life - in China. In fact, Conor Healy of IPVM says that China's vast network of cameras, cell phone tracking, face and voice recognition, and other advanced technology surpasses what Orwell made up. In Part 2, coming soon, we'll examine whether the U.S. is traveling down a similar road.
