How Close Are We?

Social credit systems and reputation-based economies are emerging globally. In China, a national social credit system scores citizens and businesses, affecting access to services and travel. In the West, reputation scores are used by platforms like Uber, Airbnb, and even some banks. Social media "likes" and follower counts influence real-world opportunities, and some insurance companies use social data to assess risk. However, a fully unified, all-encompassing social credit system as depicted in 'Nosedive' does not yet exist in most countries.
