No, but I was in a kids writers group who wrote poems about it/in that style, a lit class that wrote a paper on it (one in HS, one in college), and a TAG camp where we acted it out 
Like I said, I REALLY should have recognized it.

But also, like, the vast shocking shittiness of the code which leaves the possibility for Bad Things.
The more obvious is that the more things are connected, the more opportunities for vulnerability.
But there was a story also about a dishwasher accidentally bringing down a city’s wifi in essentially an unintentional ddos attack as it was trying and failing, over and over again, to find other appliances to connect to.
I don’t have a verifiable link to that story.
I AM NOT A SOFTWARE ENGINEER.
I just live with a network security expert.
