2006, Sidney Eve Matrix, Cyberpop: Digital Lifestyles and Commodity Culture: bad object choices that result in gear lust and technofetishism, rather than interpersonal human relationships.
2022 October 18, Placeholder McD, “SCP-7579 ”, in SCP Foundation, archived from the original on 20 December 2024:"SCP-7579 developed internal camouflage so a shmuck like yourself would speculate on it, then convince a more powerful shmuck unlike myself to buy it time. It's probably smarter than us, it's definitely smarter than you, and every second of its existence exponentiates the time and resources I'll have to spend cleaning up your mess.
Also, as apologetic as you were for occupying my time, which I had hoped to spend with my daughter, you used about twice as many words as you needed to, and wasted an entire paragraph complaining about your colleagues. I went back to the SCP-079 file — Supervisor Valis would have had the thing decommissioned years ago if it weren't for your blatant technofetishism. Yet, you have the gall to characterize the Foundation's ongoing political interventions and military operations as squabbles."
