The authorities can see everything people do, every move they make, every message they send, every thought they express. Every act and every opinion is noted, then evaluated for ideological obedience, from the peasantry to the Party’s periphery. This situation is comparable to George Orwell’s 1984.
— except this is a more extreme version.
The corporations know everything people do, every move they make, every post they share, every “friend” they make. Every click and every scroll is recorded, then used to encourage any behavior, from shopping habits to voting patterns. This situation is comparable to Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World.
— except this is a more extreme version.

Adbusters is one of a handful of magazines in the world that receives zero funding from advertising (print or online), corporate sponsorship or government/foundation grants. We are entirely reader-supported, allowing us to remain fiercely independent in what we do and say. We operate as a non-profit organization, which means that every dollar we raise through the sales of our magazines and other merchandise goes directly back into our campaigns and the production of the magazine. When you subscribe to Adbusters, you are joining a network of artists and activists committed to speaking truth to power without reservation.
