In 2010, a Rockefeller Foundation report entitled Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development described a fictional pandemic followed by increasingly authoritarian government controls.

Citizens were confined to their homes, businesses were closed, religious gatherings were prohibited, and access to ordinary social activities became conditional upon compliance with public-health regulations.
