Go back 50 years and all this would’ve been science-fiction. As all good sci-fi should do, The Forbin Project scrutinizes the cutting-edge tech of its day and predicts what it may lead to, extrapolating the possible repercussions upon the future of humanity.
The story predicts, and at least touches upon, nearly all the issues that have recently become relevant in our digitally connected present-day: decentralized control, freedom of information, enabling technologies, public access… leading to loss of control, illusions of freedom, tech-dependency, invasions of personal privacy, and so on. It does this in the compelling format of a stylish, tightly scripted thriller, peppered with some memorable moments and snippets of cool, quotable dialogue.
While the movie was in production, scientists at the University of California (UCLA) managed to get two computers to connect and exchange information. Problem was that the computers had no way of interpreting the meaning of the data. By the time the movie was released, ARPANET had developed the first host-to-host protocols to allow a network of four computers to interact. At the close of 1970, there were 19 linked-up computers that could exchange data, though there were still difficulties getting the machines to do anything with said data.
The great separation is here, time has come to choose your side.
