about this time last year, summer 2019, under feelings of inescapable hopelessness, I had a portentous vision of the future: technological takeover, societal collapse, runaway climate catastrophe. An apocalyptic end to civilization as we know it. This episode was the culmination of that vision. A story of mythic proportions, of humanity's ceaseless pursuit of "innovation" leading to our own demise. Last year, I had no idea how close we might come to that vision. And now, in the midst of a global pandemic, combined with climate uncertainty and a rising tide of fascism worldwide, it's a vision that feels a little more tangible, in both expected and unexpected ways. When I made this episode, apocalypse felt like a distant possibility. Now, it feels just beyond the horizon. What's in store for us? What comes next? It's time to revisit a future-past. It's time for copy/paste episode #178: apocalypse.
