Removed editorializing about the chanting sample and the unneeded section. Replaced with a sentence in the intro

A hyperpower is a nation that dominates the global stage through economy, military power, and technological prowess. The term has been used to describe the United States in the 1990s and retrospectively the British Empire in the 19th century.

While the song is instrumental, it uses a crowd chant throughout. The words, if indeed there are any, are unknown despite being directly accessible from the multitrack release.

===Song credits===

==Live==

This piece became a live opener for the Performance 2007 after its debut on the spring Australian leg of the tour, though it was sometimes merely the studio version played back over the PA. As well, Saul Williams performed "Gunshots By Computer" several times during his 2008 tour.

~~==Sample==~~

This piece features a sample of crowds throughout the track chanting something, though it is not entirely clear what the words are. A listen to the crowd sample from the song's [[Multitracks|multitracks]] does reveal, however, that the chant is not "power, power, hyperpower" as was initially assumed when the song was released.
