In H. G. Wells' "Things To Come", the engineers/technicians take over the world my means of their mastery of technology. But it is a benign and benevolent world, run for everyone, without greed, run by people who can add 2 and 2 and get 4 every time. I like that story.
Yep! I hate when science fiction predicts the future accurately and stuff you thought was just wild fantasy extrapolation of trend becomes reality.
We’ve got personal micro-chipping to access funds and to control activity, restricted border movement, eugenics and selective artificial insemenation to come yet.
Enjoy your freedom while you have it!
