Kevin Kelly over at The Technium suspects that even a mastermind villain would require loads of help to pull off a high tech scheme:
“The myth of the lone evil genius is that you can make complex technology all by yourself without the infrastructure of a society. You can’t, at least in the beginning. Because more powerful technologies require more social support, this increased social pressure keeps the technology in check.”
