No, for once I am not talking about the TV show, dreadful though it is.
I moved into a new house a couple of months ago having chosen to stay in the city and now I'm beginning to seriously question my decision.
I go to my bathroom where a single hair on my head moves and sets off the security floodlight in my neighbour's back garden.
All through one tiny porthole window.
I'm not joking. When I first experienced it I thought it must be coincidence. A large passing truck, maybe.
But no.
It has become apparent that my movements through the window are enough to trigger my neighbour's paranoia.
We are all spying on each other these days.
Anyone familiar with George Orwell's 1984 will realise that we creep closer to that novel's reality than ever before.
Last week I read that those mounted CCTV cameras that are able to track every move we make are now to be fitted with loudspeakers so that 'those in charge' can bark orders at us as we drop a fag-end or step on the cracks in the pavement.
We smirked at 1984 and said it was a society that could never be, but how close to it are we really?
Orwell may have been 25 years behind modern society but considering he wrote the novel in 1948 and arbitrarily chose '84 by switching the last couple of numbers, he wasn't actually too far off.
We may not be actively and individually monitored as in Winston Smith's world but modern society is all too ready to keep a beady eye on us and ostracise and penalise us if we don't conform to its many little rules.
And is that really justified?
It's controversial, but if I am doing 34mph in a 30mph zone, is it anywhere near as important as some scumbag teenage thief robbing the houses nearby as I 'speed' past?
Just because it's easy and cheap to capture a motorist with technology, it doesn't mean that we should lose focus of the real villains.
