All this talk of censored dissent is giving me Alpha Centauri vibes.
Like Deus Ex, it really was ahead of its time (ideology will replace religion, the individual will be irrelevant to the collective, you will be placated with senseless media, those restricting the flow of information wish themselves to be your master, and you will eat bugs/soylent green and like it you filthy fucking plebian)
it got scientific advancement and space colonization wrong with all the incentives there are to lie about results and grift through degrees in baloney but you can't get everything right
