This will grant us “the arrival of an alien intelligence.” Those are Schmidt’s literal words.

Speaking of alien intelligences, my new Silicon Valley blood magic startup has come up with the idea of ritually sacrificing virgins in the hope of summoning Great Cthulhu or Azathoth, as they might have some ideas of solving the climate crisis.

Not a cult btw.

This is basically the plot of Charles Stross' The Jennifer Morgue.

The plot? Im more and more worried this is going to turn out to be real. Reality tends to outpace his fiction at times after all. ;)
