Human Consumption - Ali Stewart-Ito (Faculty

By Ali Stewart-Ito (Faculty)

Her whole life she has known the soft glow of screens changing with daylight or nightlight–as natural as a mother’s caress or rebuke once was now a part of her concrete foundation. The trajectory is clear–Another day of negotiating the barrage of Algorithms (there’s an App for that) and she is reduced to a series of 1s and 0s. That emptiness she feels in her belly codified, tears converted to formulas and predictions and her Amazon order arrives before she even places it.
