After money, now the world
Big Brother reaches for all the power
Elon Musk and the oligarchs of Silicon Valley now also want to determine politics. George Orwell's "1984" has returned through the digital back door, analyzes foreign policy expert Kurt Seinitz for Krone+.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen When George Orwell wrote his classic "1984" in 1948, he had Hitler and Stalin, fascism and communism in mind: an (invisible) Big Brother tyrannizes and incapacitates people. He exercises total control over them and deludes them into believing they have total freedom.
Hitler and Stalin are history, but Big Brother has returned through the back door in the form of high-tech capitalism. These are Elon Musk and the other tech oligarchs of Silicon Valley such as Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos; all of them multi-billionaires. Orwell's Ministry of Truth is now based in Silicon Valley, and Orwell's "Big Brother is watching you" is now the scanning of everyone's data by the data octopuses of Silicon Valley.
