I read a SF novel, many years ago, early 70’s when I was a teenager, abut a future where the government wanted a guy to do something (for them) he did not want to do.

He had every ‘right’ to refuse, as he was a private citizen, but the government had their ways to make him cooperate.

There was no ‘cash’ in this future, all ‘money’ was electronic ‘credits’ that were tracked and spent with your WATCH! (Apple and others iWatch?) The user just put the watch next to a reading device and the number of credits was subtracted from the total, in a central banking system. The watch had several functions, news, text messages, entertainment, music, etc.

All the government had to do was turn off the ‘credits’ part until he submitted to their desire.................

I expect that's how the False Prophet will manipulate those with the Mark of the Beast into betraying those without the Mark of the Beast

Here’s an old commercial - was advertised when the Usurper was in office (officially, that is). ANYWAYS, the “money” was downloaded to your bracelet which then laid down numbers for the transaction on your wrist - creepy, IMHO - and the music didn’t help, either.
