KAOS: Netflix's Lightning Bolt Cancellation of a Masterpiece
I am currently on my second rewatch of KAOS. If you haven't seen it or haven't heard of it, and you have or are near a Netflix subscription, I strongly recommend you give this five-star show a watch. A show which the Guardian labelled a "masterpiece". I'll wait. Have you watched it? Great! And yes, it has been cancelled. I feel your pulsating rage. I feel your blood boil. It is like being hit with Zeus' lightning bolt and your soul being turned to stone.

Geek Chic
The roots of geek culture can be traced back to the mid-20th century, when science fiction literature, comic books, and early computer technology began to capture the imaginations of young enthusiasts. These early adopters formed tight-knit communities, often meeting in basements or garages to share their passions and discoveries. Despite being marginalized by mainstream society, these geeks laid the groundwork for the cultural revolution that would follow.
