The Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.
written in 1932.
I first read it in 1972. So precisely accurate in describing the surveillance of the entire world, the use of technology to brainwash the masses, the use of pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines to dumb down the people,the police becoming militarized, the dissolution of the family structure, the reversing of gender roles, the governments subtle and insidious usurpation of people's human rights etc. He was the mentor for George Orwell (Eric Blair) who wrote 1984 in 1949.

@RenaissanceMan Thank you for your answer, I'll add this book to my backlog!
@SW-User you will enjoy it immensely. There's a lot more. It includes the life of people who reject technology. Designer babies, cloning of animals, self driving and flying cars,how pharmaceuticals and vaccines will be used to turn people into dumb downed sheep! There's more...1984 is mostly about the surveillance system and it's global structure to brainwash all societies.
@RenaissanceMan this is an amazing book
