The frightening future is not simply AI taking over the world, but whether anyone still accepts responsibility for life when humanity is no longer watching.
Why does a perfect world still need children who can make mistakes?
If AI can remove war, pollution, and chaos, does life still need risk, misjudgment, and failure? Neo-Babylon places the answer in its children.
