> Perhaps they have something dystopian in mind?

Oh come on. We've all conceded the days of "Don't be evil" are long gone but Google's type of evil hasn't quite shifted to that of cackling supervillain. It's an evil bred from arrogance, naivety and self-interest - not from an active intent to corrupt society.




In other words: It's the same kind of evil as all real evil, not the kind of evil that is purely fictional. Your point being?


I think you're making the same point as me in that case. It was morningcoffee that had James Bond supervillains in mind.


IC--I read them more as "something that is dystopian" rather than "something that is intended to be dystopian".
