I guess this relates to
one of the centralof the novel. I find it incredible how when reading this novel we as readers
have our hopes raised enough to make us think that his rebellion will actually work, only to
have them completely and irrevocably crushed. On reflection, in such a world, I would suggest
that there is nothing that an individual such as Wilson can actually do. Any attempts he has to
rebel seem to be actually given to him so that they are used against him later and used to
convict him. He lives in a world of total surveillance which can only end by outside force or
pressure or the government itself imploding. Wilson and ´s rebellions are futile and, above all,
permitted. Which doesn´t make them rebellions at all.
