In Jacek Dukaj&#x27;s &quot;Black Oceans&quot;, the portrayed world also has surveillance everywhere that is treated as normal. Moreover, it serves an important social function there - it facilitates insurance claims. If anything happens and it was registered on cameras, victims are determined and reimbursed properly. Conversely, you can opt out of the surveillance and e.g. have a camera-free zone in your home or conduct your meetings in such - but by doing so, you forefit the right to get insurance if anything happens to you while you&#x27;re outside monitoring range.
