The only surprise here is that none of these silicon valley ghouls have named their startup "Omelas LLC" yet.
I was going to crack a joke that they don't read authors whose names sound like a fantasy saga (Le Guin) but they read Tolkien
Also they're naming their stuff after LotR or GoT, and apparently they were enamored by the wrong side, such as naming their company 'palantir'
They don't read Tolkien, they watch Jackson. And skim fan wikis.
Somehow even worse than the edgy 2nd wave black metal guys who named all their bands after LOTR stuff. They at least had to skim the actual books.
