en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freejack
www.imdb.com/title/tt0104299/
this was a cheezoid movie to put it mildly...but while it failed as a film..freejack excels as a prophecy...freejack..which was produced in 1992..is set in the year 2009.. and was surprisingly accurate in predicting what is now todays' world would look like...
of course there is no "spiritual switchboard" technology as such...but todays' economy exactly matches geoff murphys' film version...murphys' "freejacks" are analogous to todays "enemy combatants".. both have had their human rights summarily revoked by unitary executive fiat...
furthermore..the villainous global CEO in freejack is named ian mccandless..which is very close to john mccain ("ian" is scottish for "john")...unfortunately..i dont have any screenshots from the movie..but if my memory is correct..mccandless' skyscraper strongly resembles the "freedom tower" currently under construction at 9/11 ground zero...
there are also many other paralells..if you can actually sit through this film without falling asleep.. which suggest that mccains' VP pick will begin "M"...
