À propos de cet audio

“We, to tell the actual absolute truth, don’t live in society, actually.”


In the history of humans, for the first time after the glorious 18th Century have we had The 21st Century. If one strains their ears, one can gather echoes traveling back to us from a dismal future, hankering for the nostalgic and innocent and simpler times of The 21st Century.


The 21st Century where we actually don’t live in a society. We live more in tubes, in simulations, in hypotheticals and in conspiracies. We live in line graphs, in word vomits, in feeds and filters, in videos and in games, and in video games.


The Basterds navigate this terrain of solipsistic confabulations.


“Two weeks to two minutes” Exclaimed Cyrus West Field—an American entrepreneur and financier, pointedly not an inventor, actually—when the telegraph line laid across Atlantic finally worked in 1866. Now in place of these obsolete thick copper cable lay nets upon nets of fiber optics where we sail daily. And the echo of our future sounds across these nets of our present and of our past, where we are constructing a singular Transatlantic tunnel, dug under the pioneer ocean for us to live in, when the whole world itself shall drown under the weight of our present and of our past.


The Basterds navigate these uncertain terrain.
