Decivilization by Mark Automaton
"Hell is empty, and all the devils are here!"
- William Shakespeare, "The Tempest" (Act 1 Scene 2)
Decivilization: modern society is unravelling, and our social bonds are disintegrating. Compassion, empathy and concern for others is cast aside in favour of self-absorption, greed, and the quest to become Internet-famous. Faceless tech monopolies unleash an unregulated tsunami of AI slop. Social media platforms devolve into sewers of hate, misinformation and conspiracy theories. All the power and money is in the hands of the utter dregs of humanity.
Please enjoy the soundtrack.
