Fate

Overview
Fate is the supercomputer artificial intelligence that acts as a coordinating entity between the different Norsefire ministries. It could be even considered the eight minister.

It is present in majority of devices allowing the Ear to spy on people. Fate-linked listening devices are bieng installed by volunteer citizens in their homes for tax subsidies.

It is considered outdated by newer supercomputers due to its age and England's isolation preventing access to newer, more efficient technology. As a result, Sutler had its mainframe relocated to a secret location where he claims to personally oversee its operation and maintenance. Most of the other ministers are expressed disdain for the computer, believing that at best it is an outdated relic incapable of performing its functions on the level Sutler believes it suitable and, at worst, a compromised inorganic being hacked by foreign powers or corrupted by Sutler's incompetence.

Fate provides news and announces curfews. It's capable of controling television programming (e.g. extending intermissions or activating an emergency braodcast channel).
