about

Interview with Father, the leader of the Luddites.

lyrics

Interviewer: At the century’s end, with rising oceans and radiation threatening our very existence, once again humanity looks to technology for salvation.

Father: Ridiculous: your technology has brought us to the very brink of extinction. Destroy it all and banish those who believe otherwise.

I: You talk of banishment but the Mars mission is an exodus, using our last remaining technology to colonise a new planet. And how ironic that the leader of this mission is your wife.

F: It’s not irony - it’s treachery. But no matter: now we Luddites rule the Earth, technology is no longer tolerated here. We have camped inside the last skyscraper still standing and all of our youth strong enough to withstand the radiation are up on its roof sowing the last seeds. With God’s grace, our family of true Earthers will weather this pagan storm and see green fields growing under blue skies once again.

I: But surely all the young people are leaving for Mars?

F: No, no, not all of them…
