Silicon Snake Oil book, as soon as it came out, which he - himself - publicly claimed to have been in error, in parts, sometimes, but about which I now think - looking at X, TruthSocial, TikTok, etc. - that may, in fact, has been premonitory...

It wasn’t really premonitory. More technophobic. It’s understandable in 1995 to have written it as few could envision what we have today.

Look up the definition of "premonitory". It definitely is.
