I had not exactly thought of it like this, but the present day computer cult of Dataism, where if it can be computed it must be, and data is king, is a form of central control every bit as communistic as anything to come from China, inevitably leading to central planning and control. Indeed, one of the core objections made to central planning by libertarians like Popper and Hayek, is that central planning lacked the co-ordination ability due to the amount of information being too complex to calculate. Rapid advances in computing, such as quantum computing could change that.
