Tolkian's Burning Eye of Sauron
As Drawn by Mike Brinza.
The concept behind Tolkian's all-seeing Eye of Sauron is very similar to the symbology expressed by the all-seeing Eye of Horus used in the DARPA logo. In the recent Tolkien movies the all-seeing Eye of Sauran was fed information by magical spy balls that were strewn around the kingdom, a concept not unlike the "nowhere to run, nowhere to hide" mentality created by myriads of spy satellites and surveillance cameras that currently watch the human population 24/7.
