[...] "[...] Back before the crash this was the best place you could put a data center if you didn't want it to be in the city. All those Wall Street motherfuckers, after nine-eleven, they moved their shit out here, hidden away in the middle of nowhere. And those big-data motherfuckers, too. They got backups here of all their stuff. All that cloud bullshit. When the crash happened, a lot of these centers automatically shut themselves off to avoid getting infected. Looked like they'd been wiped but the data is still intact. That's why you're out here, soldier. To make sure they can't be started up again. To make sure everything gets wiped. You get me?"

"Yes, sir."

"Damn right, yes, sir. You doing the most important job there is for the Movement right now. We can't go back ... No turning back. That data in there, it's slavery. It's oppression. It's greed. It's me, not we. We can't go back to that. Understand?"

it's a cool concept, tho tbh it feels a bit overblown as a risk? it's not the numbers that are responsible for the oppression, it's the control over infrastructure (enclosure of the commons etc) - the numbers are only used to manage that control. but it sounds like they dont have control in the first place.
