The Atacama Region in Chile has long been a refuge for observatories seeking a location free of light pollution. As far back as 1971, Toronto's David Dunlap Observatory set up operations in the desert because of growing urban sprawl.

In 2025, Meta paid an effective federal tax rate of 3.5% — its lowest on record.
Meanwhile, Meta is pumping at least $65 million into super PACs to stifle regulation of AI and tech.

3/ The story is instructive on how to write a good dark fiction, suspense story. But its deus ex machina conclusion also stands as a warning to avoid easy endings! A classic well worth reading if you haven't read it before.
