alt Hacker NewsVinge is one of my favorite authors, and I read both Rainbows End and Synthetic Serendipity years ago. I'm not sure I can figure out why they're relevant here though. Can you elaborate?

Sure. The connection is not direct, but I think that was the first book I read that explictly predicted a need to start poisoning data sets ( I think org in the book was called friend of privacy ) and to disprupt alternative reality monopoly efforts, its flooded with believable garbage. The connection may not be as clear, because it not mention AI in that capacity, but predicts human's reactions to corporate efforts.
I never read Synthetic Serendipity though so you got me curious.
