Let me try “1984 in a good way”: Everyone is pervasively monitored, but the information is also available to everyone; after a period of adjustment, everyone becomes comfortable with the elimination of privacy and returns to their hedonic set-points, but with a massive resulting increase in global productivity, and ultimately happiness, arising from the additional information available to everyone but the elimination of secrets.
It’s not so much “1984 in a good way” as it is “one negative-seeming aspect of 1984 rebuilt into a world that can arguably be seen in a positive light, and is clearly a weirdtopia”.
