In ‘Frankenstein,’ a Tech Bro Meets His Monster

The most terrifying thing about power isn’t the force it applies; it’s the moral vacuum it creates in the soul of the person wielding it. 

I think of the times I’ve made choices that were professionally powerful but ethically hollow—the quick decision that saved time but neglected a vulnerable party, the project that elevated my status but buried someone else’s contribution. We’ve all been Victor Frankenstein, playing God with a Promethean flame, only to be horrified when the fire scorches someone else.
