The apocalypse is upon humanity, and it plays into every fear of the people watching it unfold… it gave you 15-minutes to choose your fate:
- Death, by your own hand
- Or a living hell of slavery to the incoming robot masters
In our day of smart devices and being eternally plugged into news and social media, people’s ‘feeds’ are overwhelmed by the gruesome images of the apocalypse…
There is only one silver-lining, the incoming invaders, whoever or whatever they are - offer you a way out… you can save yourself from a living hell, but choosing to end your life - it is the only human choice, or chance, you have.
Cut to the end…
There are those of us who didn’t watch the news, weren’t fed the unbelievable (truly) images of terror through every screen we looked at, or audio clip we heard…
There were those of us who were gardening, or hiking, those who only read the news once a week when it was dropped off wrapped in a cellphone bag, paper pages… etc.
It was a rouge virus, that wiped out XX% of the population playing upon nothing but their fears of what was to come - but none of it was real.
It was ‘War of the Worlds’ radio drama to the power of a million - because all of our fears and hidden worries, were nodded to in our digital footprints - the virus could custom make your worst nightmare a reality - though one only projected through the devices you were plugged into -
The billionaires went to their bunkers, but the IoT in the bunkers told them stories of what was to come - and they eventually threw themselves off high terraces, or used antique pistols.
The unconnected, whether far right preppers, ancient grandmothers, or the very young… couldn’t be touched.
