I think Larry Brin's "The Transparent Society" is the best read on the topic. Not predictive of all outcomes, but many aspects of modern surveillance he did see coming.

This is confused. The Transparent Society is by David Brin[0]. Two of the founders of Google are Larry Page and Sergey Brin. The confusion is understandable given the name collision.
