Late in the evening of September 24, 2019, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson surprised the UN General Assembly in New York City when he stepped to the podium. He gave an extraordinary – even poetic – description of the digital surveillance age. He said that digital authoritarianism is not the stuff of dystopian fantasy but of an emerging reality.
