She was a shadow. She was a flâneur. She wandered; ever so quiet. She didn’t hide. The cameras and sensors fought running battles with the refusers: better cameras, algorithms, more sensors. She just wandered. The refusers joined the arms race, improving their silence suits or broadcasting more fog data. She didn’t wear anything special or look down. She didn’t hide her data trail. She just wandered. The city knew her, watched her, heard her, sensed her. But the city couldn’t make sense of her. The data trails, the traces made no sense. She didn’t fit the models. She was useless.
