Justice: heh. Wel, assuming computers do everything was pretty much his stock in trade...although he does have the distinction of being one of those writers who in some ways inspired how computers evolved. (Think about how smoothly he transitioned from writing cyberpunk in the 80s to writing contemporary thrillers in the 00s, and all he had to do was get rid of things like AIs, surgical augmentation/wetware, and the idea that the Japanese were taking over everything.)

AIs seemed to be his "thing" in both those episodes, though.
They might have been decent stories in their own right, they just are the sorts of stories that don't age well as our current level of technology is still nothing remotely close to what was detected in those episodes.
"Kill Switch" was also a tad lame in that there was a "hacker girl" who might as well have escaped from Shadowrun, the way she looked.
I probably would appreciate them more if I new far less about computers, but they're very out of place X-Files episodes.
I might have excepted that somehow, someone accidentally discovered alien technology and was utilizing it for AI for "Kill Switch" and a similar premise for "First Person Shooter", if only because that would be in line with the X-Files mythos and would explain the leaps and bounds in technology development.
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
