Well today thats still fiction, one that sends chills down my spine...
- OTOH when I look at today's situation is it really that much different?
- Does it matter whether a computer or some human jounalist drone in a basement restructures some news networks story?
Even today a lot of the content in my local newspapers comes from the same sources.
- What is the metric for measuring a storys approximation to the "truth"?
The scenario reminds me of the final story in Isaac Asimov's "I Robot".
Time will tell...
