: Antitrust

Great concept, poorly done. It’s a thinly disguised mockery of Microsoft out to take over the world, except the company is given the idiotic name of NURV. The hero’s a college kid who’s a genius programmer, recruited by NURV to help finish their new satellite-based communication system (which ridiculously talks to any electronic device anywhere in the world in any medium). This could have been good, if they’d actually followed the rules of reality, and made use of the story’s satric potential. Instead they went trite and predictable, with an overly complicated (and illogical) plot. Pretty lame and disappointing.
