In the 1997 film Tomorrow Never Dies, one of the most far-fetched movies ever made, ’s 007 fights a megalomaniac international media baron determined to boost the fortunes of his satellite news empire by starting a war between and the West.Quite why he’s spending many billions engineering a global conflict when his news outlets couldn’t hope to recoup more than a fraction of that sum by covering the war is never explained.Nonetheless, some may have been reminded of this ludicrous plot a few days ago when a former official warned that a not-entirely dissimilar scenario – involving a mercurial tech king, his satellite empire, and a major war (though not one by design) – is playing out in the real world.
