Wow this is dark. I wish I could say you're wrong. But some version of this is where we seem to be headed. The scariest thing is how many people are not just indifferent to their gradual technological and political indenture but welcome it with open arms. On the tech side, I'm baffled every time I see people at work get excited about some new software feature that is obviously designed to lock them in and control them even more, sold on the most transparently bogus promises of some marginal benefit. No suspicion, no resistance.
