  I watched “Her” and “Simone” go from being science fiction to docudramas in real time.

    I just read The Circle and parts of that feel true to life.

      Haven’t seen the movie and didn’t know it was a book.

      Thanks for the information.

      Also, look up “Network” Not about tech, but when it came out it was a cutting edge satire

        Yup. When it came out, people laughed. Now, they sigh and nod.

      I haven’t read the book and it’s been years since I’ve watched the movie but iremeber leaving disgusted because it just felt like propaganda for big brother. Like, “you don’t need privacy, because not having privacy makes you safer”.

      Maybe I misunderstood it but I left the theater pissed off lol

        I haven’t watched the movie, but the book is alright. 3 stars for me.

      Did you read The Every yet? It’s a sequel, but instead of anti-privacy, it leans more into greenwashing, and how only the powerful corporations can save us from a climate disaster.

        Is it good? I only consider the first book only ok for me.
