    What Hacker News says

      I read a book in high school called The Alliance that discussed pervasive digital surveillance in a dystopia. I think it's this one: http://www.amazon.com/Alliance-Gerald-Lund/dp/0875791603 . It starts slowly but gets better as I recall.

      Reminds me of The Alliance by Gerald Lund. Pretty soon we'll all be implanted with these things to inhibit bad behavior like over-eating, unsightly public acts of nasal cleansing, or being stupid.
