Who uses Star Trek as a reference?
The WEF, and others. If you want an interesting read try ‘Digital Human’ by Chris Skinner. written back in 2018. He has advised the WEF, The World bank and White house. Its a good overview of what is now in progress.
Skinner uses Star Trek references often.
It is even more interesting when reading steven Mnuchin’s report on Executive order 13772, from Feb 3, 2017 in regards to Nonbank financials and Fintech.
