Which I think elements of this took place in today 's society. In 2013 Edward Snowden a former CIA employee and a contractor of the US Government copied and released classified information from the NSA without authorization. This information contained evidence of NSA members collecting information on millions people without them knowing, watching them through scenes on their technological devices and monitor their every move.
