The world is on fire! Climate catastrophes, economic crises, wars, extreme polarization and environmental disasters – predicted for decades by scientists, freethinkers and artists – are increasingly manifesting in the here and now. Shit is real, yo! Denial is no longer an option!
The role that technology plays in the cause and solution of the major climatic, sociological and economic problems of the 21st century is becoming an increasingly urgent conversation. The survival of humanity and future memes are at stake.
Even the status quo of metaversed tech billionaire CEOs and corruptable politicians is finally starting to realize that something needs to change in our attitude towards the future of planet earth; a future, if it were up to them, conceived and designed by the status quo themselves… say what, now!? A more decentralised structure like the anti-capitalist, pro-technology Solarpunk/Ecopunk movement might be a better alternative to being a slave to Big Tech.
GOGBOT asks: who has the power when it comes to shaping the future? And what do we want to change about this distribution of power? Can the world still be saved, or are we metaf*cked!?
