Remember about six years ago there was a TV show called Person of Interest about surveillance cameras and how useful they were? I hated it: predictive programming for right now.

I watched the first season or few. Interesting until it wasn't. A Jonathan Nolan project, brother and collaborator with Christopher Nolan.

Sometimes it's hard to say what is predictive programming and what is inevitable. One could say my grand story has elements of predictive something, but that's because I tried to imagine what the near future would be like - not because I have an agenda to make it happen.

My landlord in Mexico used to invite me over to watch it and sometimes I couldn't think of an excuse. He also loved America's Got Talent but I just flat refused to watch that. He's from New York.
