10. Surveillance camera with a birthday hat on top

A main theme of "1984" was large numbers of people being surveilled by the government.

11. I was reading that there are 32 cameras within a couple hundred yards of where he

lived when writing 1984, that England has over 4 million surveillance cameras, or about 1 for every dozen or so people in the country.

That hat is a perfect remembrance of what he was talking about.
