Trivia / Futuretrack Five

• Technology Marches On: Mostly averted. The novel's near-future setting doesn't have an awful lot of high-tech gadgetry (beyond psycho-radar, the Paramil blasters, the Laura AI and the level to which robots have taken over transportation) to be overtaken. The most significant would be the datatapes used to feed information into some computers and the size of the bugging devices.
