John Poindexter's evil design for an all-seeing God Machine seems torn from the pages of visionary science fiction, where such schemes rarely end well.

I disagree with your comparison of Poindexter's plan to
sci-fi, it distracts the people from the more realistic
dangers of this plan.
As history has shown us many times the amazing thing called
human nature will always prevail. I am more afraid of a
programmer who, tempted, will wreak havoc on any people
that he does not like. I am afraid of an insider selling
information. I am afraid of communism ( should the
president's information be included in the database, should
the rich be exempt or are we all equal??? ).
Reality holds in store more danger than any fiction, let
us not forget that.
Have a nice day.
