The article is very interesting, but did anyone else found the surface stylistic choices ... more than a little weird?
"The world had not yet turned."
"The details of the Trinidad project finally unlocked the mystery that was AggregateIQ."
"[..]Is it unreasonable to see in this the possible beginnings of an authoritarian surveillance state? [beat] A state that is bringing corporate interests into the heart of the administration."
"Is it a telling detail, or is it a clue to something else going on?"
Instead of pseudo-Lovecraftian horror story prose, I'd prefer straightforward presentations of the facts. It's less annoying and less confusing to read. "The world had not yet turned." Indeed.
- djhworld 9y agoI found the article was far longer than it needed to be and took a long time to explain what actually was going on, and seemed to take a circuitous route to its conclusion. Saying that thought I did find it very interesting, and worrying. What can people do about it really though? I mean, I think people vote with conviction for whatever they vote for - and no one likes to be told they've been conned, or made a fool of.
- matt4077 9y agoThere are (and always have been) different genres of journalism, not just wikipedia-style paragraphs of facts in defending order of importance.
- Boothroid 9y agoI agree, I don't think the writer writes well.
