Pet Sematary
Buy Pet Sematary by Stephen King on Amazon
It’s like the cat in Pet Sematary that comes back to life; those things are a poor substitute for the original. You can replace these things, but there will always be unintended consequences, whether you're talking about rent control, minimum wage, or Zoom learning for school.
Mike refers to 'Pet Sematary' to illustrate how certain technological solutions, like Zoom learning, can create negative outcomes similar to the twisted return of the cat in the story. He uses the book as a metaphor for the unintended consequences that arise when we try to replace traditional methods with new technologies.
