POST-SCARCITY BLUES | Found Footage from the Future
The year is 2035. Chicago still stands. Nobody asked for this. Found footage from an antique 2000s camcorder. A hologram sings the blues in the last dive bar that still books them.
The city sleeps through its own extinction.
This is what we got instead of the singularity: Perfect coffee. Predictive algorithms. Drone deliveries. And the creeping realization that you’re the bug, not the feature. When the machines became perfect, nobody threw a party. When efficiency peaked, nobody celebrated. When AI never slept, nobody thanked it. They just stopped calling you. One hologram. One song. One question you’re too scared to ask: What are you for?
