A fake after-the-fact forecast quite similar to a fake prophecy
written down around 1970, projected back to 1945:

"Someday it'll all be done by machine. Information machines. You are
the wave of the future." (GR 258)

Note the mention of waves in IT context, also appearing in the
mysterious "Heart-to-Heart, Man-to-Man" episode (698-699). It is part
of Semyavin's lament about information becoming the only real medium
of exchange, supplanting drugs, sex and luxury items (dope notably in
the first place).


I think the switch from dope subculture to IT with all its
consequences is a key background story in IV.
