Cold fusion, artificial intelligence, quantum computing with holographic presence, an immortal strand of DNA, Anti-Gravity technology and countless other advances are quarantined—but employed—by the BTC, which theoretically is "assessing their social, political, environmental, and economic impacts with the goal of preserving social order."
Only the BTC, instead of answering to the government, decides to take over and run the world themselves. Why not, they have to power to do as they wish.
