News about your own personal trojan horse in your pocket. Whether on iOS or Android, Windows Mobile or Symbian, big data knows what you do (and where you are and why). But this is new, although it has been suspected for a while: Government spyware on mobile phones.
The fun part is that they pretend not to have sold their suppression-ware to Bahrain. No, it has been stolen by hackers! That’s a security company you can trust.

Just one example on what is possible, from http://www.intelli-vision.com/products/intelligent-video-analytics/slip-and-fall

Submitted for your consideration: an entire list of surveillance concepts, proposed by science-fiction stories. Note the technologically real items: Augmented Reality, ubiquitous surveillance, drones, eavesdropping rays, and tracking systems. These are all things that we might call “cutting edge tech”, but indeed, certainly real tech. Surprise, shock, uncanniness, paranoia— yes, it is repeated enough to be cliche–the future is here.
But what is truly uncanny about our present “not-so-distant future”, is that we continue to refer to it as the future. There is no need to speculate. We have a fully evolved culture of surveillance technology in the United States.
