Anyone interested in seeing the limits of gub'mnt control over technology probably ought to watch LOOPERS. It all takes place in the future, but not far into the future. Hugo Gernsberk probably ran the storyline first ~ but it was quite prescient.

The key item is nobody has money anymore. It's more like they have cast silver blocks/sheets that they carry around.

That tells you where criminal subversion of the credit card is going as well ~ nobody has a credit card!

The people 20 years from now (about when this is set) are growing sugar cane in Northern Illinois ~ recombinant DNA technology will give us sugar cane that grows around Hudson's Bay for that matter. In about 20 years.
