As far as philosophy goes - the new one dug into the far more interesting subject of technology driven collectivism vs. individual sovereignty(over things as fundamental as memories)
Liked the old one because of the question what makes us individuals > our set of memories. I prefer that to anti-war/business or whatever.
Uhhhhhh - The buisiness in question is a government contractor who loses his profit if there's no war. So he makes war and kills protestors and whistleblowers.
