POV you thought this stuff was reality and turns out it’s just cheap tricks and distracting illusions coming out of a plastic toy

everyone talks about AI warping and changing reality and people not knowing what’s real anymore. Then you go for a walk in the woods and yr like I know what’s real. The idea that anything on a little electronic toy could ever be real is a joke. It’s all illusions and cheap tricks sold as miracles.

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com

p.s. this week I am on a USA/Canada tour with my new book. Details and preorder links at tomgauld.com

Panel 1. image of a huge nuclear plant.
“Reactor Overheating”

2. A worker in a hazmat suit works at a computer. The screen reads:
“Press cancel to avoid critical overload”

3 - 9. The worker continues to type at the computer. The screen changes in each panel and reads:
“Enter password to confirm”
“Incorrect password”
“Incorrect password”
“Do you want to reset your password?”
“Reset link has been sent to your email”
“Please choose a new password”
“New password can't be the same as old password”
The colour gets hotter in each panel. Starting blue in 1 and ending in red in 9.

Panel 10. Wide view. The entire earth is blown up.
