Yes it was prescient. A portion of the "Network" diatribe says the following: At the bottom of all our terrified souls we know that democracy is a dying giant; a sick, dying, decaying political concept writhing in its final pain. I don't mean the United States is finished as a world power. The U.S. is the richest, the most powerful, the most advanced nation on earth, light years ahead of any other country. And I don't mean the communists are going to take over the world because the communists are deader than we are. They wish they hadn't included the last part about communists (although they were very much referring to U.S.S.R. and not China, in that line) http://www.carrothers.com/network.htm http://www.carrothers.com/network.htm
