There’s a statue of Edgar Allan Poe walking through Boston, with a giant raven flying overhead and his suitcase spilling a trail of his writings behind him.

Mark Zuckerberg built a massive data center in Georgia just hundreds of yards from people’s homes. Now the water pressure is gone. Sinks don’t run. Toilets won’t refill. Homes shake nonstop. Power outages are routine.
