He typed the command to render the file. The CPU fan whirred louder, a jet engine taking off in the quiet bedroom.

While the rest of the world was concerned with the mundane—Mary’s crisis of faith, George’s high blood pressure, Missy’s telephone gossip—Sheldon sat in his bedroom fortress, staring at a monitor that refused to obey him.

It decided what was essential and what was noise. It discarded the redundant information to save the core.
