DeathBot 2000

Illustrated cover for DeathBot 2000, split vertically by a torn white seam. On the left, a green armed combat robot stands before burning ruins and drones. On the right, the same robot holds a headset in a theatre beside seated audience members, including a blind woman using a white cane. The cover contrasts the military terms ‘Target acquisition, predictive trajectory, lethal force’ with ‘Narrative arc, emotional cues, audience comprehension’, and ends: ‘The objective is no longer to decide who dies. It is to ensure no one misses what happens next.’

A retired autonomous combat intelligence is reassigned to describe live theatre for blind audiences. What begins as an absurd act of technological redeployment becomes a world about perception, purpose, accessibility and the corporate appetite to turn every good idea into a product line.
