A government-employed cyber-snoop is seen chiding activists and citizens protesting against violation of their privacy, saying, “But for decades, you complained the government does not listen to you?” Big Brother is watching more, more of us, and for most of our time, armed with more eyes than Lord Indra. There are CCTV cameras every- where. Phones can be listened to and are listened to; conversations are recorded, emails are read. Your real-time bank statements, latest location details, payments, chats — everything is adding up as an offering to the Deity of the Century — the Big Data God, who in turn, subserviently, works for the Supreme Duo of the surveillance state — lords of national security and anti-terrorism.
