“What’s it about?”
Either talking to a God-alien-computer intelligence and breaking free of the Black Iron Prison that has enslaved all of mankind between the time of the Ancient Romans (which is also right now) and a vast space dictatorship 100 years in the future (which is also right now), or doing drugs and going crazy. Or both.
Weird things are happening, man.
The Empire Never Ended is a hack of Jared Sinclair’s What’s So Cool About Outer Space?, drawing on VALIS, A Scanner Darkly, and Radio Free Albemuth. It also borrows from Trophy Dark, Otherkind, and False Matters, GNAP! Theater Projects’ improvised Philip K. Dick show.
