Make money doing the work you believe in

I am working on a new piece called “Agency Theater,” describing the inevitable result of the fundamental split between capital P Politics and actual governance: a future in which Eloi humans spend their days Monitoring The Situation with dashboards that are actually connected to nothing at all, pushing elevator buttons that don’t actually close the door, and attending citizen assemblies/ biennales in which the symbols of power are intensely contested. Meanwhile the Morlock AI’s run the entire show, concerned with the Eloi’s Discourse solely because it also their responsibly to erect the Potemkin interfaces every morning for us. The End.
