Once these server farms and their constellations of A.I.s are up and running and everybody is profiled and surveiled through life then people's interface with the world and the limits of what they can know or imagine, their very lives, will be mediated and controlled like never before.

I mean, look at what Limbaugh and Fox were able to do to the population merely by speaking to the malignant subconscious en masse with nothing but conventional broadcasting. Persistent algorithmic targeting and manipulation on an individual basis will allow the people who control it to do anything.

Smaug just sounds like pollution, but Sauron was evil and trying to live forever and those things are cool right now because nihilism and nothing matters so use nature, and use up nature, while you still can

Storytelling-wise, sure, but the concept strains for its Twilight Zone anti-socialism metaphor and by the end of the season it's clear that it's a cheat.

Problem is, state actors who commit humanitarian crimes and subject populations to death and terror are not by "official" definition terrorists, that label is reserved for those who resist state terror by meeting violence with violence. An old but still effective bit of propaganda.

This nation reelected (more enthusiastically than ever) the man who ransacked the Capitol and promised to be a dictator and persecute half the nation but yeah, sure, just give this country three more years, maybe it won't be racist anymore. Pure wishful thinking completely ungrounded in reality.
