My instinct is to go small. One idea I had was for a child neglected by their careerist parent to go through their parent's code, amending what they cannot understand to be a love letter of sorts that completely ruins the codebase. In that way, you could present the actual code and iterate through the child's perspective as they destroy it. I need to read Crichton. He gets a lot of praise, even among writers of literary fiction that I know, for producing quality work that is augmented significantly by the subject matter. The distinction between mass market fiction about technology and the kind of fiction that envelops technology might be better illustrated by a simile. The former is like an article about a tech company. The latter is like that company's API.
