Planning for a world population of eight billion is not straightforward.
First, it’s necessary to make mobile phones, iPads, Skype and built-in cameras desired by everyone. GPS tracking is easy. Then comes the tricky bit: develop fingerprint and face recogniton, accurate enough to link to that GPS tracking. The population collaborates willingly, telling everyone on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter what they’re doing. The entire world’s activities are recorded.
One last problem: there’s mountains of data about who’s meeting whom, who’s working where, who’s sleeping with whom. It’s too much. How to proceed?
Easy. Pick on the people you don’t like.
