@drak the surveillance state is nothing new, though.  the main difference is that technology now enables monitoring far more people simultaneously for far less cost and using far fewer "men on the ground."  we're bridging the physical divide only because our global society has embraced means of communication that are well-suited for remote eavesdropping.  but, really, you never really had privacy in cities--only a kind of anonymity in the throng.
