"We are, perforce, one world, mutually dependent upon complex trade patterns and the distribution of diminishing resources."
Does the above quotation seem particularly relevant to today's world? It was actually an excerpt from a novel, Harlequin, written by Morris West. The copyright for this book of fiction was 1974. That's 40 years ago.
The arch villain in this book was someone who ran computer services for large corporations. They didn't have the Internet then. Today, the analogous villain would be running the cloud services.
As they say, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Egad, what will the world look like forty years from now?
