techtarian 

A political-economic system in which totalitarian attributes are enabled by pervasive technology, especially when related to big data.

Technology + Totalitarian = Techtarian

Early aspects of techtarianism can be seen in the United States PRISM project, China's attempts to use technology to monitor and control freedom of expression, State linked shut-downs of communications in times of crisis, wholesale monitoring of international communication systems, and systematic monitoring of big data to produce probabilities and risk profiles for those monitored, regardless of suspicious activity or nefarious intent by those monitored and/or without knowledge of those monitored.
While the ultimate manifestations of techtarian systems are not yet defined, the use of technology toward totalitarian ends is emerging as a result of state based efforts to manipulate, monitor and control aspects of technology for the purposes of advancing state based objectives.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
