I remember reading reviews of this series, describing it as a fairly credible and interesting dystopian proposal. With current behavioral analysis mechanisms, AI-driven expert systems, and the constant tension between anarchic freedom and the repression of a governmental apparatus… all the ingredients are in place to make this kind of idea in the series have a chance of occurring in our reality.

Obviously, I'm not referring to the technology the series presents, but rather to the idea that an algorithm embedded in a machine can determine whether we should be eliminated from society or allowed to continue existing.
