Philip K Dick : How To Survive A Totalitarian Society

Philip K Dick, a 1973 speech excerpt :

If, as it seems, we are in the process of becoming a totalitarian society in which the state apparatus is all-powerful, the ethics most important for the survival of the true, free, human individual would be: cheat, lie, evade, fake it, be elsewhere, forge documents, build improvised electronic gadgets in your garage that’ll outwit the gadgets used by the authorities.

And this, also from the early 1970s :

World war three hasn’t started yet. Just feints emanating out of Hamilton air force base. Mind-disorienting drugs, systemic toxins, psychological warfare techniques, plus combat operations: seize and search. Hit, destroy, and carry off. Special operators in the field, whose real purpose, as the magazine Earth says about the CIA, is to ‘peddle dope and off people’.

So nothing's changed much then, except for the fact the CIA now uses Flying Killer Robots to perform civilian-slaying 'targeted' assassinations. In Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan.

The deployment of Flying Killer Robots to the skies above the United States seems, now, inevitable.
