Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?
This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Notes -
Tvtropes says Inception counts. Thinking about it, I could see Interstellar, too. Should pro-establishment super teams like GI Joe count? I’ve failed to think of books which don’t cross over into straightforward futurism.
No comment on fursuits.
As for AI, I would look for top personnel with a background working for the government. Look at what Feynman, Fermi, and others did after the Manhattan Project. Records are a lot more available now than they were in the 50s.
Not a book, but would Wall-E count? Buy'N'Large appeared to be extremely effective at delivering what humanity wanted, regardless that humanity wanted questionable things, and arguably all the protagonists and their resources are products of the corporation. (The villain, too, but not as an avatar of the corporation specifically.)
