Re: Babylon Today | My old story is back

Probably my most recent work with Babylon Today is "Letters From the 22nd Century" which is a faux-retrospective of the 21st century and the re-emergence of Marxism wrought by the AI Revolution, and the truest emergence of the long discussed "contradictions of capitalism" in an i...

Re: Babylon Today | My old story is back

Mother Meki, yes. But remember that Babylon Today is not serving that same niche. Babylon Today has always been technist propaganda more than anything; nightmarish suffering gets in the way of that. The Marie-Aurore of Babylon Today who tells us about the fully-automated luxury communist world to co...
