An oblique
but familiar future. Biotech and neural interfaces have given voice to
locked-in intelligences, mosquitos are subsidised and the internet is
dying. It is a world desiccated by soulless algorithms, pacified beneath
the battle-suit’s boot and numbed by the bewitching voice of computational
propaganda. 
Struggling
for dignity and against irrelevance, rebellious minds must seek meaning beyond
the cultural desert:
Stella Sagong struggles with poverty and
exploitation, while living above a brothel on a huge floating tuna farm.
Niato Musiani, rejecting privilege allows
himself to be recruited into a life of eco-insurgency.
Keith Wilson attempts to cling onto his archaic
sense of ethics while grinding against suffocation by corporate morality.

Cool. We are going to parachute Mobile Phones to Alpha Centauri on beams of light.

A new surge of optimism with Space.
Perhaps
people are bored of hopelessness, perhaps it is Elon’s reality amplification field or perhaps it’s just Spring.
Whatever the reason it is great that people are engaged with our techno
destiny.
