Description

A Cartoon Journalism Series by The Dillusion Dispatch, ... published by Digit PaxMentis ... Curated by TDC - The Digital Curator

What happens when the "prophets of automation" become their final victims? - In a world sterilised by optimisation, where drone taxis hum past glass towers and humanoid robots outnumber humans in every office, one guru lies on a Bauhaus couch, crying to his own voice clone. He once preached “Automate the world.” Now he’s alone in it ...

Automate the World is a serialised cartoon journalism arc— 6 Editions in total —documenting the emotional collapse, systemic absurdity, and quiet resistance inside a fully automated society. It’s more than just sci-fi. It’s forensic satire. Based on real workflows, lived methodology, and the accelerating logic of AI evangelism.

🧠 What to Expect: Edition 0: The Breakdown — therapy bots, voice clones, and emotional entropy. Edition 1: Arrival — the guru lands in Rio, automation goes viral. Edition 2: Domestic Absurdity — optimised pet dogs, dopamine loops, and smart fridges. Edition 3: Burnout — cognitive overload, genetic chickens, and senior swarms. Edition 4: Resistance — hotel cleaners, frustrated teenagers, and the return of chaos. Edition 5 (in development): Collapse and Rewilding — emotional sovereignty in post-automated ruins.

🧬 Format: Black-and-white panels, AI-assisted sketching, retro-futurist design language. Humanoid robots modelled on Japanese minimalism and working kimono seam logic. Just filtered essence without hype.
