We also know that whoever seizes control over dead-user data will wield enormous power over our future access to the past. Just consider that one person –Elon Musk, no less– now owns the entirety of the tweets that constitute(d) the Arab Spring, #MeToo, and Black Lives Matter. When future historians seek to understand their past, it is the Musks and Mark Zuckerbergs of the world who will set the terms.

Another Country- Searching for James Baldwin in the South of France

Since James Baldwin's death nearly 40 years ago, the literary lion's final home, in the South of France, has drawn a procession of acolytes to the Provençal community of Saint-Paul de Vence, where he spent the last 17 years of his life.The 300-year-old villa in which he resided no longer exists: By 2019 developers had converted the site into a luxury apartment complex. But that hasn't deterred generations of admirers, inflamed and enlightened by Baldwin's prose, from making a pilgrimage. Including me.
