Taking the opportunity to spam A Game of Hearts and Graphs which has recently begun releasing on Royal Road. I expect there to be daily updates for quite some time, as I've already written 320,000 words and 72 chapters...
If anyone remembers all the kyanah spam from 2024, this is them again, but with real story, not worldbuilding!

Regarding that article name: I heard a funny theory actually that Futurama might be a more realistic take on the future than we thought. Apparently it is a post-scarcity future where jobs only exist because people want things to do, and it took on a retrofuturistic vibe literally because that's what we as a society collectively decided The Future™ is supposed to look like
Wish I could find that post!
