Written in 2001, set in 2036. Quite a good estimate of the future although inspired by the likes of Gates. It’s got everything you’d expect aside from Quantum cryptography.

A lot of people of viewing this as a positive story. I’m not sure I do.

Empty boxes are still making their way to the end of the process where a hack is being used to fix the outcome.

The problem of the empty boxes still exists. In fact, it could be many problems down the line.

I saw an interesting comparison of mechanics vs engineers where (no intended slight to mechanics) mechanics will fix the behaviour but engineers will perform Root Cause Analysis.

While I agree that the expensive consultants don’t provide much value, and the solution fix is affordable and nicely and lateral, I don’t think this is what you’re really want.

I draw comparisons to the endeavours that Tesla is making to more efficient manufacturing lines.
