I’m sure it seemed like an extreme worst case scenario fictional situation when they were writing it. But we now know how much worse it is when politicians team up with tech billionaires.

It was a really compelling well- done series. I cringed at the “both sides-ing” of the bad guys. I guess they have to do that if they want a wide range of viewers.
