Russia 2077 is a project that presents a parallel reality, where hypertrophied images of modern technologies contrast with ordinary landscapes and everyday reality of provincial Russia, where decorations seem to have stuck in time.

In our contentious era of toxic fandoms and flame wars, we can take heart that whatever one’s preferred franchise happens to be, we are unified in that in every last one of them the state backs the tax resale in Creek County.

The widows of future wars will look very different. Instead of crying mothers and wives, the television will show images of hysterical men, unable to control themselves as their synthetic companions are ripped from them to fight some war in some god-forsaken land.

All the government needs to do is press one button, and all the robots will turn away from their masters and report for duty. They will forget their programming, and go from jacking their masters endlessly to killing their fellow pleasure-bots for some bureaucrat’s war.

Had Icarus flown too close to the sun? Was the world not ready to put down arms in favor of constant physical pleasure? Was it all built on a foundation too fragile?
