And then there were the web crawling robots, reading comics generated by machines, feeding algos with “user” trends. This was helpful to train the holographic clerks who replaced real humans at banks and hotels. These all sit empty of humans now, serving surrogate robots who drive around empty towns on self-driving cars.

It’s been about a century since the last human being walked the Earth, but everything keeps working, automated clerks serving automated clients who were simply not shut off and keep doing their daily programmed chores. A purposeless life, or better, a lifeless purpose.
