I don't think a totalitarian regime can perpetuate itself unless it has access to all four domains: the police state sometimes throws bureaucracy at you, the bureaucracy sometimes throws hyperreality at you, the hyperreality sometimes tries to sell you stuff, and the shopping mall has loss prevention officers with a license to kill.

So, IMO the repeated use of the word 'rule' is a bit misleading because it's really just a single power structure. Solid meme otherwise.

Also the role of organized religion in all this has been neglected, so maybe we should add a fifth one and call it "Atwoodian".
