STEAMPUNK BIG TECH
This personal commission was inspired on John Henry, who was a physically built railroad worker who worked on the tracks being built during the westward expansion of the American frontier in the post-Civil War era. With his great hammer and immense strength, he set the nails of the tracks and broke the rocks to build tunnels. However, one day the head of the company arrived with a steam-powered hammering machine that threatened to put him and all his colleagues out of their jobs. John Henry challenged his boss to a race: if he could nail the tracks faster than the machine, the jobs would be kept. John Henry managed to win the race, but he pushed so hard that he died immediately.
This is also an interpretation of the current big tech companies, and how they manipulate the information. The main character tries to fight them, even if he takes a big risk by doing so.
