Strikingly foreshadowing concerns of later decades, the 1964 Soviet novel World Soul (translated into English) by Yemtsev and Parnov dramatizes a supercomputer which uploads all human identities and downloads them in a global nightmare of scrambled individuality. In 1970 the co-authorship with Yemtsev has ceased. He died in 2009.

gollark: And a quota for "10 tons of nails", so they made a single 10-ton nail.

gollark: If your factory is told to make 100K units of winter clothing of any kind they will probably just go for the simplest/easiest one, even if it isn't very useful to have 100K winter coats (extra small) (plain white). Now, you could say "but in capitalism they'll just make the cheapest one", but companies are directly subservient to what consumers actually want and can't get away with that.
gollark: That is why we have the "legal system"./
gollark: With a government.
