The 2017 game Night In The Woods features this poem:
"There's No Reception in Possum Springs"
No reception here.
I wave my black phone
In the air like a flare
like a prayer,
but no reception.
I read on the Internet
baby face boy billionaire.
Phone app sold made more money in one day
than my family over 100 generations.
More than my whole world ever has.
World where house-buying jobs
became rent-paying jobs
became living with family jobs.
Boy billionaires.
Money is access;
access to politicians
waiting for us to die
lead in our water
alcohol and painkillers.
Replace my job with an app
replace my dreams of a house and a yard
with a couch in the basement.
"The future is yours!"
Forced 24-7 entrepreneurs.
I just want a paycheck and my own life.
I'm on the couch in the basement
they're in the house and the yard.
Some night I will catch a bus out to the west coast
And burn their silicon city to the ground.
