In a world reimagined by prophecy and code, a divine spark ignites in the ashes of exploitation. Jacob R. Moses envisions a techno-spiritual future where resurrection isn’t just metaphorical.
In the year 2222... landscapes of the willows remained pristine as a genesis crafted around an ancient ash Lightning struck as a pentagram formed Exploitation expired exponentially All that tweeted were birds All that tumbled were gymnasts All that went tick tock was the biological clock of a synchronous collective consciousness Linked by the psychic cords installed through metaphysical architecture no longer The Empire of Emzuck ended after non-consensually copulating with contrived conflict Descendants of dissonance rebuilt civilization two hundred years after the mutiny against the metaverse
