| ==== Books ==== | In a critical commentary on Murty's perceived conflicts of interest, [[Canuck Law]] opines that, "First, by promoting the doomsday computer modelling as fact, he can convince the Ontario Government (and elsewhere) to impose more restrictions. That means more people are stuck at home, and more people will be looking at computer services. Second, by pushing the “Smart Villages” initiative, Murty is able to grow the market. In order to connect people the way he wants, they will need digital hookups, like the kinds of services that Perfect Cloud offers."((Ronnie. (2021, April 25). //Vijaya Kumar Murty, PerfectCloudIO, Smart Villages & Covid Restrictions.// Canuck Law. https://archive.ph/NK8N7)) |
