Living in the Machine part IV

by estory

The machine says there is a war.
The machine says we need a draft.
The machine says there is a climate crisis.
The machine says we need electric cars.
The machine says there is a pandemic.
The machine says we have to be vaccinated.
The machine says we have to trust the science.
The machine says to listen to the boxes.
The machine says there is social unrest.
The machine says we need a curfew.
The machine says to trust in the machine.




We don't often realize what a barrage media and social media has become and how it is all pervasive and how it shapes so much of our opinions on so many issues. And we don't think about who is behind the media and social media and what their agenda is. I tried to create a sense of a robotic voice here, something preprogrammed, and also ambiguous, hiding the motives of the ones behind that voice. I hope I was successful in getting across this sense of media and getting people to think. A few more posts and this collection will at last be done. It took a couple of years to post since so much of my time last year was spent taking care of my dad in the last months of his life. I am looking forward to posting the next collection. A breath of fresh air. estory
