"Domestic Wiretapping" by Sylvia Louise Engdahl explores the complexities of privacy and surveillance in a near-future society. The story follows a young woman named Clara, who discovers that her life is being monitored by government agents through a new and invasive domestic wiretapping program. As she navigates her daily existence, Clara becomes increasingly aware of the ethical implications of such surveillance, prompting her to join a grassroots movement advocating for privacy rights. Along the way, she encounters allies and adversaries, leading to a tense confrontation between individual freedoms and state control, ultimately questioning the balance between security and personal liberty.
