Arc 1.2 Post human conditions

This is what people talk about when they talk about the future. They talk about the past. They reimagine their memories, scaling them up to fit the adult frame. A father’s hands, lifting and catching, become the harness of a jetpack. Or they talk about tomorrow: by projecting themselves into the future, they dream their way around their own death. Or they talk about what the world would be like if today was to continue ad nauseam. Of course, the future will not be like today. Nor will it be like the past. It will not be like childhood. It will be like the future. Arc is our attempt to talk about the future, in fact and in fiction. There are no maps, the brakes don’t work, the driver’s blind and the doors have no handles. Enjoy the ride.
