Liberty and Justice in an Age of Perpetual Surveillance by
Rebel Press
Imagine a society where cameras, drones, and biometric tracking operate in every public and private space—cultivating a climate of constant observation and self-censorship.
Orwell’s Amerika offers a chilling vision of a future America reshaped by state surveillance, media control, and population management. Through layers of narration and case studies, the author examines how technology and ideology intersect to undermine personal freedoms and political agency.
The book exposes the machinery of endless conflict that fuels both foreign intervention and domestic control. Through military campaigns, fear of terrorism, and ideological enemies, the state maintains a constant sense of crisis.
The “forever wars” serve a deeper purpose—not victory, but justification for surveillance, censorship, and expanded state authority. Who truly benefits from a war that never ends?
From state-run narratives and fakes news, to influencer-driven messaging, Orwell’s Amerika lays bare the mechanics of modern propaganda. Emotional manipulation, selective facts, and repetition are used to shape belief systems.
Perez argues that we are not just being told what to think—but how to feel. In this world, the news isn’t reported—it’s curated for consent.
In the digital age, censorship has become more sophisticated than ever. It’s no longer about banning books or jailing writers—it’s about filtering algorithms, shadow banning, and content suppression masked as “safety.”
Perez explores how information is carefully shaped by media corporations, social media platforms, and state agencies alike. When control of speech becomes algorithmic, truth becomes fungible. When the government outsources censorship to Big Tech, suppression becomes hidden. When unwanted speech is flagged by “content moderation” repression masquerades as safety.
Crisis is the ultimate tool of control, and the book highlights how public health emergencies can be used to reshape society. With lockdowns, mandatory tracking, and movement restrictions, Orwell’s Amerika explores how easily people surrender freedom for safety. Perez warns that temporary measures can become permanent habits, and that fear is often more effective than force.
