>Equilibrium is one of the more ridiculous representations of a hyper controlling state
We no longer own anything.
* From games to software is subscription based, we no longer owner anything.
* Cars are connected to the network, folks are getting their insurance increased coz the car reported erratic driving behaviour.
* Cars are bricking coz now they update like tablets, things are going sideways and require the dealer to flash them.
* You can no longer do maintenance, things are locked on purpose and only manufactures can "repair" for a few hundred dolalrs
* Personal computer as we knew it is gone, nVidia and AI made computer parts virtually impossible to buy.
If that isn't hyper controlling state, well, I am Santa Claus then.
That is just the start.
