Drones: Miniature Paranoia
1990s paranoia was all about unmarked helicopters-- they loomed, they surveilled, they indicated the presence of a mysterious authority-- but you could run from them and you could hide from them . . . Goodfellas and The X-Files come to mind-- but the 2010s are all about the drones: constant, persistent, ubiquitous . . . and there's nowhere to hide; the surveillance and paranoia are constant, so much so that we are inured to it.

I'm really enjoying the lighthearted fare at SoD these days.
i'm watching you, zman, and i can tell.
you've just got to embrace the surveillance. pretend you're on a reality show 24/7
The show is called 24/7. It's a mash-up of the show 24 and the movie Seven. Jack Bauer has to stop a guy killing people in the manner of the seven deadly sins.
but he has to do it every day, day in day out.
