What’s your key cultural reference for this moment? It used to be Olivia Butler etc for me but right now it’s films with super villains. In particular, since I happened to see it before Xmas with children: Sonic 3. Robotnik. And his even more evil grandfather. That’s what I think of when reading about how Elon Musk and his aides have taken over government IT systems.

Cold War as video games:

“When the game was originally developed in Japan, they called the character Eggman. (...) but when the game got localized and ported (...) in the West, they decided to (...) change his name to Ivo Robotnik or just Robotnik."
