To induce mental disease via the internet. That might be a thing now. It may already be happening to millions of people.
That's a really big deal.
A way bigger deal than a bunch of kids trying to get attention by faking whatever.
- SavantIdiot 5y agoThat is also the premise of these three great films, inducing disease/mind-control via digital communication: 1. Videodrome 2. They Live 3. Pontypool (which heavily references SnowCrash, the book) It would not surprise me if this becomes a concern this century (e.g., digital manipulation of the brain remotely).
- swayvil 5y agoI totally agree. And I have watched all 3 of those. Pontypool. Woo! What a crazy idea. Bookwise, I recommend QNTM's "There is no Antimemetics Division" and Langford's BLIT.
- SavantIdiot 5y agoNever heard of those last two, thanks for the tips!
