This thread reminded me of this speech by George Soros delivered to the World Economic Forum:

An interesting clip:

There could be an alliance between authoritarian states and these large, data-rich IT monopolies that would bring together nascent systems of corporate surveillance with an already developed system of state-sponsored surveillance. This may well result in a web of totalitarian control the likes of which not even Aldous Huxley or George Orwell could have imagined.

Probably a solar flare KOing everything and sending us back 150 years.
