1984: Behind schedule, but getting there

[ posted by the philosopher ]

I really, truly wish I hadn't read these two stories -- the one about the Secret Service having long ago convinced printer manufacturers to build covert document-ID technology into their laser printers, and the one about Japan's phone company building a "videogame" headset that uses electrical impulses to direct your body's physical movements -- within ten minutes of each other. Anyone who says science fiction isn't the most important field of literature in the world is simply not paying attention.

Updated, five minutes later: And by the way, the U.S. government is going to digitize your passport. Happy traveling!
