"The transformation of capitalist finance into a huge global casino, and of democracy into a reality show, is what has created the current social detachment. The stretching social distance between the poorest and the richest diminishes social cohesion, which in turn means more collective problems −− such as crime and violence −− and fewer resources for solving all our other collective problems. It leads to the vanishing of the middle. It finally results in wars."

Fourthly, we foster exploitation, in which the riches of the rich derive from the toil and the subjection of the poor and the disadvantaged. Finally, you vote for us."

"The Coalition of Peripheral Systems instructed us on how to hack those ITS systems. Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) is an essential component of smart cities. When the first ITS systems were deployed in Calton-2075 we contacted CPS to help us hack the network. ITS aims at perfecting decision making in traffic planning and traffic management, so cars, traffic lights, drivers, sensors, roadside units and other public infrastructures get interconnected through the ITS, forming a complex networked system of systems. We injected our virus using a DTS box in one of the traffic lights, gaining access to the entire ITS. For a while we could control subsystems in London-2075 from Calton, in Glasgow."
