As head of DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) I work 24/7 to see our team is not just compliant but also capitalising on diversity. That’s why I’m here. That’s why the best guys programmed me. https://t.co/c7V5VB77Zn #speculativefiction

Some of them are over 30. Creating ads for old social. They look at us puzzled. They can’t figure out what we do our even where we’re doing it. They also can’t see why were paid so much. https://t.co/KQFnwpCMiX #speculativefictionWhat if…

They’re just a bit… uncouth. It’s the way they talk. So they’re faster than me but that doesn’t mean they need to talk like that. Maybe it’s because I’m a family car but I think grammar is important. https://t.co/I7x7bjOeli #speculativefictionWhat if…

Hour after hour she has to sit there. Mindless. Repetitive. A cog in a machine she doesn’t understand but understands her all to well. I feel sorry for her. I’m going to shut down. https://t.co/A4IAkEbWCv #speculativefiction

I’m new. But I’m keen. They know that. And today they acknowledged me. Two. Two screens. Easy. I know the challenge comes at five. That’s when you know you’ve arrived. Two’s a start. Come on. Give me three. https://t.co/zmWmnPK3e0 #speculativefiction

The boss waited. He wished his WiFi would go down. He tried to look thoughtful, professional, capable. The boss looked at the feed from the wearable. Nervous fidgeting. “Alright, we’ll come back to you.” https://www.engadget.com/mudra-band-ces-2021-041411145.html #speculativefiction

I don’t know why I bought it. I was in two minds. Literally. The angel on one shoulder counseling caution. The devil on the other whispering recklessness. Lockdown reward. Go on. You deserve it.

He’d always planned to make the pilgrimage. It was a duty. The community of the faithful. United. Shared experience. In The Before it had been a dream. Now it felt vital.

I’ve worked for them for years. I’ve worked hard. Every day on the production line, churning stuff out. Watching them make money. I’d thought of leaving but they weren’t short of willing workers.
