Well, I'm not sure about the PopMart tour, but a previous U2 tour, ZooTV, was produced by a group called the Emergency Broadcast Network. Their work is simply amazing in terms of A/V synchronization. Check out their LP Telecommunication Breakdown. They have a few videos on the CD in quicktime format which are simply amazing. I've also seen their live show, and it was spectacular. Several macintoshes, two DJs a slew of keyboards and Joshua Pearson on vocals. AMAZING.
Miller includes a mass revolt against learning. A book burning if you will. All digital records could conceivable been destroyed at that time as well. Many scientists, scholars and other educated people were killed (hence the monks' need for 'booklegging'), so its not out of plausibilities reach.
Along those lines it was rather interesting to read about a monk 'discovering' the electric light, and seeing what they did to a small electrical schematic.
