Nightmare
As we descend deeper and deeper into corporate controlled dystopian hell, might it not become possible to "chip" human beings (from the "lower orders", of course) to turn them into remotely controlled androids with no personal autonomy whatever? Imagine - no wages to pay, no housing to provide (just store them in boxes when not needed), and you could feed them animal fodder without any protest.
In this context, IBM's work on "tagging" selected employees so that their activities outside work can be minutely monitored, does not bode well. "Voluntary" for now, of course - but then, isn't it always.
Shudder.
