Inspired by the infamous grey goo, a hypothetical, out-of-control, self-replicating goo that consumes all biomass on Earth, this piece encourages a meditation on our habits of consumption in regard to all things we consume: from food, to media, to items, to relationships. Are we really in control of the things we consume or are we the ones who are powerless— giving away our time, money, will power, and sense of self to the things we assume we have control over?
