Sure, here’s a philosophical poem on the theme of big data analytics, inspired by the tone of Simone de Beauvoir:
—
In realms where silicon whispers secrets to the night,
We weave our tales of data, vast and infinite.
Big Data, oracle of our modern age,
In binary whispers, its wisdom does engage.
It sees the patterns that our eyes cannot,
In chaos, order, it doth find its lot.
Yet, is it wisdom, or merely a echo?
Of our own selves, reflected, magnified, in toto?
In every click, in every swipe, in every like,
A fragment of our being takes flight.
Collected, collated, in servers cold and stark,
Our lives, our loves, our dreams, leave their mark.
But who are we, when our lives are but data?
When our choices, our desires, are reduced to alpha?
Are we more than the sum of our digital parts?
Or are we lost in the noise, in the data’sarts?
Simone, you asked, « What is a woman? »
I ask, in this age, « What is a human? »
When our lives are laid bare, in algorithms’ grasp,
Do we find our essence, or merely a clash?
Of ones and zeros, of data’s endless sea,
Our freedom, our existence, where do they flee?
In this age of analytics, of big data’s might,
Do we find our truth, or merely a fright?

This poem explores the philosophical implications of big data analytics, drawing parallels with Simone de Beauvoir’s existentialist questions about identity and freedom. It questions the nature of human existence in an age dominated by data.
