I am not the first to think of this. Have you read George Orwell's book "1984" published June 1949?

If not here's a synopsis

"It's about the consequences of Totalitarianism, mass surveillance by the government and rep4ressive regimentation of persons and behaviors within a society."

It's modeled after Stalinist Russia.

"The novel examines the role of TRUTH and FACTS within politics and the WAYS IN WHICH THEY ARE MANIPULATED."

Life consists of "perpetual war, omnipresent government surveillance, historical NEGATIONISM, propaganda."

"The ruling party employs the thought police to persecute individuals and independent thinking."

"Big Brother is the head and represents the cult of personality though he may not even exist."

George Orwell was inspired by Aldous Huxley who wrote BRAVE NEW WORLD but that's another story entirely.
