On the one hand, theoretically, the permanent input channel of billions of facts per second-GPS coordinates, heartbeats, selfies, currency fluctuations, etc.- into the super-computational megastructure, is always pushing for a transparent world. In that world "truth" would cease to be a word because there would be records of everything. On the other hand, the database could never completely suppress..."-- provided by distributor.
