First it ate the land. Strip malls. Parking lots. The golden arches visible from whatever vantage point God uses to check on his disappointments.
Then it ate the world. Starbucks in Paris. H&M in Tokyo. The same storefronts selling the same things to the same tourists taking the same photos.
Now it's eating you.
Same opinions. Same reactions. Same outrage, served fresh every morning. The algorithm's continental breakfast.
This is The Beige Age—the homogenization of everything, including your interior life.

THE LAST ANALOG MAN is a series of philosophical essays about technology, culture, and what it means to stay human when the machines are winning.
