Palliativity 119: Neo-Victorian & Retro-Future
Posted on February 24, 2011
Airships to the Orient. Wind-up rockets to the moon. Goggles, monocles and top-hats. Velcro, spandex and jetpacks.
Steam-powered adventures and rocket-fueled nights.
Romancing the world in a dance of oblivion, we settle for the dreams of another age. A simpler time when Capitalism fought Communism. A more elegant age of colonies and spices.
Escapism from the information deluge with Jules Verne and Asimov. Cyberpunk in the boredom of a child with a tablet pc in its lap.
We’ve been to the moon and 20,000 leagues under. We’ve obliterated the atom and mapped the darkest jungle.
Don’t rest on Apathy, the god of laziness. Be clever and always pushing limits— fool Father-Time:
Make tomorrow come today.
