I personally do, he actually risked his life to release information about the government spying on people. And there are for sure more advanced ways now. Even your phone is listening.

Permanent Record was the first book I ever read (apart from the ones in school and college), and I loved it. His story does inspire me.
In my eyes, he is!
The Enemy Of The State movie from 1998 really woke me up in the past. You should watch it immediately.
I remember seeing that film and thinking, “they wish they could do this.” They’ve tried pretty hard and somehow been more sinister about it.
What if they already had some tech like that, even back then?
I mean, there were definitely cameras everywhere but they werent part of a system(closed circuit and they looked awful). Hell, they still look like shit most of the time.
Hackman had MFs zooming in on people’s faces 100 yards out from atm cameras and stuff.
Obviously, the state wants this but it’s not there yet. If it was, it’d feel extra bad how many murders and other heinous crimes they just give up on.
I remember seeing that footage on 9/11 at the pentagon. It was like 1 frame per second.
Storage and bandwidth are expensive man!
As terrible as much of that movie is… It is a great movie overall and a recommended watch.
Not a terrible movie, has some great action too.
