Orwell and CCTV: Oh the Irony!
This photo from George Orwell Plaza in Barcelona delivers some delicious irony. Closed-circuit TV (CCTV) cameras monitor the area. Thanks to BoingBoing for the pointer.
CCTV has become quite popular in Europe, especially in Great Britain, where there are millions of surveillance cameras, as discussed in this article and book by my colleague Jeffrey Rosen. Many US cities are quietly installing such systems or planning to, such as Chicago and New York. A number of these camera systems are being funded with money from the federal government.
