Fun fact: before funding Pinochet to take over the Chilean government by force they tried to destroy Allende's Chile economically by funding a lot of unrest and strikes, one of these strikes was a national wide transport indefinite strike. But two years earlier Allende experimented with computer controlled logistics and organization, and he hired scientists from all over the world, chiefly the British mathematician and computer scientist Stafford Beer, to develop said computer system.

Allende was a thinker and he studied why many Socialist governments failed in the past. He knew that the Achilles' heel of Socialism was logistics, middle management level corruption and distribution, so he wanted to replace the human factor with a computer system. So he created Cyber syn by literally giving Beer all the funding he needed. When the strike took place Cyber Syn was put into action, and it used government and military roads to micromanage distribution of food and essential goods. It was the first real world implementation of Big Data ever, and it was so effective and efficient that the strike was called out a few days later.

When CIA backed Pinochet took over one of the first thing he did was destroying all the data entry stations (stations distributed all around Chile which fed the central node with real time data) and disassemble Cyber Syn's core and give it to the USA.
