Extremely interesting read. I need to go back over it again in detail on my computer not just my phone while holding my baby.

A key theme in a future fiction I am writing (slowly) is that all digital data has been lost and the time we are in now is known as a digital dark age where little is known about our society and culture. Resurrecting an archeologically discovered DVD is a key plot point I am working through. That it will be the first insight into our time in over a millennium. Other conflicting interests will be finally succeeding at re-introducing corn at commercial scale after all hope had been lost and past attempts at re-germinating from the frozen seed bank had failed for hundreds of years. It's a work in progress.
