A Rock In The Limbus

Sitting alone in solitude for millennia, roasting in the warm sun, chilling in the cool nights, a product of entropy and science. Existing tall and sturdy in the outback a few kilometres away from Alice Springs, a rock. A geological wonder of abiotic existence. It sits undisturbed, unnoticed, unregistered for its mildly out of place complexion, until the pests arrive. The infestation to the planet, the weed that's spread from continent to continent. Humans.

When word spreads through a myriad of ones and zeros with messages of conspiracy, doubt, excitement, desire, curiosity, the consequences are made clear. Clear that the limbic system of the average human may not be equipped to handle the unexplainable, unable to comprehend the ineffable, void of the necessary tools to materialise the appropriate emotions to regulate the thoughts and responses necessary for dealing with such complex reality.

Lochie Daniel offers us an exaggerated perspective into the human condition. How the need for more can in fact, reduce. This original story is told through the lives of 71 different people, from authors to researchers, game devs and students. Holly Hastings, Isiah Macaspac, and Gracie Greenrod are the 3 brave actors who embody these characters and tell the story. The story that places a lens on ourselves that we can use to examine our minds and push through the immature and the unnecessary to see that at the end of the day... it's just a rock.
