“One day, my sister said, Bri, who is really good with machines and tech, is going to invent a technology that eats all the data that exists about people online so people can be free of being made to be what data says they are.
I am? I said.
Yeah, and then you're going to invent a technology that means you can stop surveillance following people who are travelling from one place to another, because that surveillance isn't anything to do with the real journeys people have to make in the world. And we're going to call that technology Campervan.
Yep, I said. And we'll call the tech that eats all the saved data Colon.
Colon and Campervan, my sister said. They're the future. We're the future. It is this simple.”
