That was 48 hours ago. I’m typing this from a library computer. I’ve thrown all my electronics into a bathtub full of salt water. I’m wearing a tinfoil hat (not joking). And I can still hear my smart speaker—unplugged, battery removed—whispering static in the trash can outside.

No Bluetooth. Just me, a pencil, and paper.
