Interesting.
The premise of everything being networked and the resulting Orwellian nightmare gives me an idea of my own that has to do with people's minds being networked into a collective consciousness, kind of like Star Trek's borg but without all transwarp and assimilation stuff (aside from everyone being mandated by the government to receive a brainwave reader/transceiver implant to connect to the hive anyway).
I dunno though, I got Vigilance to work on and need to think of expanding In Plain Sight.

Of course I think this story was a "Bush war on terror is Orwellian" thing. Of course in real life Obama is taking everything they were frightened of five stes farther and they're OK with that I guess.

The left is all about double standards and hypocrisy. Something I will have characters talk about in any stories I write that have near-future settings.

The story doesn't get to the WOT-is-evil thing until the third chapter
