Singapore: The Perfect City or Dystopian Surveillance State?

In Singapore everything is under control. There are countless restrictive rules: chewing gum, smoking in the street, jaywalking, throwing paper on the ground, talking on the subway are all forbidden. These rules are enforced by robot dogs, who patrol the streets guided by AI. Censorship is almost universal. Political opponents are harassed by the courts. Sexual minorities are under surveillance. We followed the daily lives of Singaporeans, punctuated by ultra-modern technology and prohibitions. In schools, hospitals, markets and streets, video surveillance cameras are everywhere. We also met those who have endured the regime's extreme severity: a former prisoner who spent twenty-five years behind bars for simple offenses. Or pro-democracy activists who dream of greater freedom and end up in prison themselves.
