The truth is that the public domain is becoming an ever shrinking domain,
containing a smaller percentage of the world'd information, from an older
and older portion of history.

We live in an era in which we get more and more information THEY want US
to be exposed to, and less and less information of the grand total.

Wasn't there a post WWII distopian story about such a world?

The powers-that-be provided you with more and more information that was
basically what THEY wanted US to know, but kept the real stuff hidden
away for themselves?

And something about anonymous cigarettes?
