Ars Technica
The walls are buzzing. I know this because I have a magnet implanted in
my hand and whenever I reach near an outlet I can feel them. I can feel
fortresses of industry miles away burning prehistoric hydrocarbons by
the megaton. I can feel the searing pain and loss of consciousness from
when I was shocked by exposed house wiring as a boy. I can feel the deep
cut of the power bill when I was living near the poverty line. I can
feel the cold uncertainty of the first time the power went out due to a
storm when I was a child. How long before the delicate veil of
civilization turns to savagery with no light nor heat nor refrigeration?
