    Reminds me of the movie "Antitrust". Corporation NURV is the bad guy, led by Gary "I'm not Bill Gates, nor his evil successor, Elon Musk" Winston.

    > Winston’s company, which seems a whole lot like Microsoft, is working toward the same goal. In fact, Winston claims his new Synapse global communications system will, and I quote, “link every communications device on the planet.” Too goofy. In order to discourage his competitors, Winston has announced a release date for his new software while it is still being written (details like this are why the company seems a whole lot like Microsoft).

    The idea is that a monopolistic "synapse" controls information, IMO.

    Say, that sounds familiar.
