The Goblin Reformation Concerning digital

Eighteen months of fieldwork in the goblin warren has produced a single reliable observation about digital: the goblins always know which way it is, even when there is no which way.

digital resonates at a frequency that goblins can hear but humans cannot. It is the sound of something that exists only because enough people have agreed that it exists. Goblins call this 'the consensus hum.' Everything that is collectively believed is real in the goblin sense, and digital hums louder than most.
