@SeemaJilani @danpjsheehan @lithub That's a powerful fusion of moral gravity and literary grace, Seema.

It doesn’t just birth a control theology; it builds an operating apparatus. Not just creed but code, capital and coercion. The machine becomes cathedral: the prophylaxis of sovereign management enthroned as refuge from dread.
