《Tales of Disruption》The New Office of Technology Assessment
Advertisement
Rebecca Snyder was sitting with her family in their home theater watching a Friday evening holo-movie when someone rang the Sentinel Bot 3000 security perimeter assistant without providing an identification.
She paused the film and hesitantly answered.
"Yes? Who is calling?"
"Ma'am, I represent NOTA."
"Who?"
"The New Office of Technology Assessment."
"How can I help you?"
"Ma'am, you need to open your front door now."
"I will not until I speak with my lawyer."
"Irrelevant, ma'am. We have a special GC warrant."
“I will not allow you in!” she responded.
A squad of remotely controlled robotic enforcers broke the front door down and entered.
"Rebecca Snyder, you're under arrest. You have the right to remain silent ..."
"On what charges?"
"Violation of the HMAA. You're the CEO of Holo, The Everything Social Network, correct?"
"Yes, I am. Can you clarify what you mean by HMAA?”
"The Global Council just passed the law this morning, ma'am, the Holo Media Accountability Act, which in turn immediately activated NOTA. Your network is deemed criminally liable for hosting an organized meeting of a radical neo-Luddite organization who EMP'ed a military robotics factory."
