Very “Deus Ex” (the now classic video game.”
Not exactly prognostic of our current situation but “uncanny” would be accurate. A globalist conspiracy uses a virus to effect total control, and the protagonist and an AI muddle with their plans.
In the end, and while this is a spoiler for the game it’s 24 years old so it’s like a spoiler for the The Matrix movie, things either fall apart entirely, get run by a reshuffled elite, or the AI runs everything.
I could see variants of that choice playing out in real life, except not one global determinant but regional or factional happenings. There are already too many strains on the western/global system and too much strength in alternates like BRICS, PRC, and that pesky reality of Muhammedism for the current would-be-elites to get their way in the long run.
