- Title
The story of the great computer.

- Abstract
Summary: What can sci‐fi novels, language‐learning exercises, research databases, and gossip magazines tell us about Sweden? The strict word limits of flash ethnography invite playful approaches to theoretical impasses. In this piece, written for a special section on flash ethnography, I return to longstanding anthropological dilemmas—how to distinguish between humans and computers, where technology meets society—to experiment with a new genre of creative nonfiction.
