So where are we going?
1984 - Government controls all of our information and uses it to dominate our lives.
Neuromancer - Big corporations control all of our information and uses it to dominate our lives.
When you look at the direction big tech is going with data control I think its a race between big corporations and China-type government to see who wins. As more of our history gets digitized and white-washed, it's only a matter of time until a Fahrenheit 451 burns the printed books and all our knowledge and history is digital and subject to "editing" and control.
So who wins? I tried making this a poll but couldnt find a "make this a poll" button on my phone.
Ps.. if you haven't read Neuromancer, put down your phone and go read it. Same goes for 1984 actually.
