Forgotten Relics: THE GOURNEY by Osinachi

When it comes to the future, what we humans dream about is a better world. We dream about robots powered by artificial intelligence, co-existing alongside humans. In many ways, this is ironic in the sense that we have yet to take care of today as we should, yet we are already thinking about tomorrow as we want it to be. “THE GOURNEY” captures the fake fulfilment that a robotic and AI-driven future might become – a future where we try to undo the mess of the past as humanity using technology. What would we be doing? Creating robotic and AI-driven versions of what was once the natural world? Yes, we would have new things, even new words like “Gourney”, but where would that leave us?
