Control

In the book the government controls peoples every move. They made it manditory to get the barcode tatto. Thats not much different from today though. The government montiers your every move. With all the tecnology we have today they can tell your exeact location just from a fone call. If your cell fone has the battery in it they an track it. It seems we lose more and more freedom everyday. Also in the book, the government went bankrupt and was taken over by another country. (big shocker) Our country is inching towards that now. The government is $14 TRILLION in debt! I think this book is a prediction of the future of our country.
