continued from previous “Good morning! Can I show you something?” Michael said to Olivia as she was taking a slow sip of her coffee. She took her time putting down the cup on the benchtop, avoiding to look in his direction. Arms crossed, she got up and followed him to his station. Pausing as she … Continue reading A New Earth – Genesis II
continued from previous Of course, John wasn’t the only one who knew that the natural world was accelerating towards a new order. Artificial Intelligence programs, originally designed with the purpose of forecasting investment performance, had self-learned the art of speculation to the point where they could predict almost anything, about anyone. It wasn’t until their … Continue reading A New Earth – The Oracle
continued from previous “You mean that we’ve crossed the tipping point and into ecosystem self-destruction?” Olivia asked.

It is a river like no other. Traversing the Earth in a straight line, it has no time for twists and turns, no desire to smell the roses along the way. It only cares about transporting its sad, silent load: not fish, not humans, not even water. It is a river of electronics, clothing and every other gadget … Continue reading The Suez Canal

God is the personification of the real forces of creation: the stardust, the light, the gravity. God is the excuse to sin: it will all be forgiven, because after all, we are His children. … Continue reading God
