Lost Futures
There will be no end to history. The series Lost Futures (2016–2019) captures the spirit of its times – the first Trump era – a rude awakening from the liberal globalist dream, and the eon of fake news, evil AI, populism, fascist nostalgia, and disregard for the imminent climate crisis.
The series offers a retelling of contemporary capitalist myths, told from the perspective of a citizen of a buffer zone between shapeshifting superpowers. The Zone has once again fell victim to authoritarian regimes, and Lost Futures provides a look at the smart technologies and infrastructure that made everything possible.
If we're going to be damned, let's be damned for what we really are.
– Jean-Luc Picard, Star Trek: TNG
