Just finished reading Death of the Author.

This one is for all the Naija girls and women who’ve dreamed of being in space, unhindered by their bodies, family/societal expectations, naysayers, and self doubt. I can’t express how much I loved this book!

In the classic H.G. Wells novel The Time Machine, the time-hopping protagonist meets the Eloi, who live in a state of childish innocence. Everything they need is provided by invisible machinery. Maintained by the subterranean Morlocks, who eat the Eloi like farmed animals.

This is a wonderful metaphor for what hyperscale datacentres turned much of the net into.
