>and we have a Minority Report style crime-prediction system.
Off topic but since you mentioned it... I was so disappointed when the prediction system turned out to be just magic and no technology at all.
- icebraining 10y agoFunny, to me it's the opposite; one can't imagine such a fantastic technology without making it sound like magic anyway, and I respect PKD for avoiding the inevitable technobabble-laden "explanations" of how it would work.
- h_r 10y agoI understand your reaction but the movie was supposed to be a dystopian view of future technology and this "technology" was the central concept of the movie, not some peripheral interesting idea. The entire structure was built on a mushy foundation, in my mind anyway.
