Explore James Lovelock's Novacene, where cyborgs and IT Gaia transform Earth with an inorganic coat by 2100, blending organic and digital life in a world beyond humanity.
It's a little bit terrifying to think of humanity as more of being in a pet-like role. But, should we go down this path, it is plausible. You have laid this out in a logical manner. Also, I appreciate the dream-like depictions of the solar-powered plants.
The current system seems to increasingly feel like it doesn't quite fit people anymore, pushing them to their limits. I’ve heard plenty of people jokingly say things like “I wish I were a cat”—maybe you’ve heard that too?
It makes me wonder, though, if humans found themselves in that kind of role, where would they find meaning? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.
Also, I’m so glad you liked the visual analogy! When I imagined that depiction, I envisioned something much more detailed and expansive, but AI isn’t quite there yet :))
I like to think of the future in decades and not just years. This piece spoke to me.
Glad you liked it!
Thinking in decades, both ahead and back, really helps make sense of the present.
