Just saw this. It's a cross between "1984" and "Silicon Valley". The book version has a better plot.


I watched it yesterday and was very bitterly disappointed by how they simplified the whole plot and totally warped the ending into a classical feel-good Hollywood ending. I dragged my girlfriend because I thought it would drive home a point I had been trying to make about what you can do once you are a central hub of information, I walked out deeply annoyed because the film supported her "anybody can make a difference and turn things around" point of view.
