It is 2042. A dry wind blows over a desolate landscape, raising flurries of dust from the burnt ground. Feral dogs, tumours proliferating on their skin, pick through the debris, raking through yellow bones in the hope of rats. In the distance the remains of a city, a city whose name will soon be remembered by nobody. Some of the buildings appear curiously melted. A structure made of corrugated iron, rusting, deformed panels torn from some vehicle, and papier mâché. A turbine atop a tower made partly of garden furniture, creaking in the wind. A collection of car batteries. In the shed a thin figure crouches: ragged clothes and open sores. He types at a keyboard, poking a stick into the switches of the missing keys. The screen is cracked and dim. The camera's eye moves, we can see, barely, the text on the screen. > PYTHON IS THE ONLY TRUE SOLUTION PYTHON HAS BEEN THE BEST THE ONLY > LANGUAGE FOR CENTURIES REFERENCE COUNTING WILL NOT CORRUPT YOUR PRECIOUS > BODILY FLUIDS GARBAGE COLLECTION IS THE WORK OF SATAN PYTHON IS THE > STANDARD REFERENCE COUNTING MAKES THE BIRDS SING AND THE GRASS GREEN > GARBAGE COLLECTORS ARE CONTINUALLY TRAWLING THROUGH DEAD DATA LISP IS > OBSOLETE EVIL NOBODY USES LISP USE PYTHON LIKE ME USE PYTHON REFERENCE > PYTHON LISP SLOW FAST PYTHON BEST YES PYTHON GARBAGE BAD PYTHON OBSOLETE Flecks of foam and blood land on the keyboard. No birds sing; what once was grass is now dust and ash. Still he types, faster and faster now, singing and chanting. From the computer in the shack a cable runs. The camera follows it, to its end: copper cores poking through charred insulation. Fade. -- tfeb.org/computer/
