Let us now pause, and write in praise of POI. Not for any political reason (Snowden, et. al.), but because the writers have created genuine science fiction. I can't recall who said it -- perhaps one of the greats (ACC, PKD) -- but good scifi takes the world as it is, and changes one very small thing (in this case: genuine AI). Such a pleasure to watch. I know, I know, many folks on HN will point out technical shortcomings, but as someone who has straddled these many worlds (natsec, digital security, privacy), I see them reflected here in a glorious alternative universe that is thought provoking, entrancing, mesmerizing.
