Interesting story concept. Might have to go read the rest of the book
to see how it got used.

Ninety seconds doesn't seem like enough time to fully realise the horror.

Sure it does. Go to your favourite swerver and type "rm -rf /*" and whack
the return [enter] key. Wait a few seconds. 90 of them should be plenty.

And then relaunch the instance while the rest of the cluster picks up the
load seamlessly? Or simply act surprised that I wasn't logged in as root,
perhaps...

All right, I know, being a smarmy git, etc etc. Point taken, although I'm
not sure in that case that the last 89 seconds will increase the horror
too much more than the level attained after the first.
