Rocked by climate impacts and desperate for solutions, state governments placed their bets on technology to do what they could not: manage the trade-offs necessary to save the planet and nature. Company-owned but state-programmed AI agents now meet basic human needs while letting nature regenerate as fast as possible, and few politicians can describe how their decisions are made. Electricity is almost free, factories have gone dark, and virgin fibre is tightly rationed. As the factories went dark, the land lit up with millions gardening, planting, and rewilding, supported by a Universal Basic Income, while unions lost much of their leverage. Consumption is condemned and monitored, and many people escape to a virtual world of abundance through neural chips. Nature is restoring, but people have given up certain freedoms in return.
The sector is decarbonising quickly. The agentic AIs that govern each region trial and implement solutions to keep within planetary boundaries, and dark factories are self-sufficient in water and energy.
Fashion expression has moved to the virtual world, where retailers sell unique digital luxury items.
AI agents set production volumes and inputs, and production moves close to feedstock and demand rather than cheap labour.
Factory teams are small. Most human work is in repair, remake, and nature stewardship, and unions have lost much of their leverage.
Virgin fibre is rationed, so recycling sits at the centre of the industry, alongside biomaterials and fibres bearing seeds that germinate while worn.
Clothing is limited, durable, and carries data about its makeup. Trend-driven fashion has moved to the virtual layer, where abundance costs the planet nothing.
A festival lasting several months, in which people bury the clothes they have worn. Living clothing, made of fibres laced with dormant seeds, is worn for a season and then returned to the earth, where it germinates. In Santiago, residents leave the heat of the city for the outskirts to bury their clothes, and urban meetups teach young people to garden. The festival turns seasonality in fashion from an act of disposal into one of land restoration and new life.
Plants native species in a city park, on shifts planned by The Mycelium Network.
Leonel has been enjoying his slow mornings. For eleven years he woke at 5 AM to sort other countries’ castoffs on the dumps outside Alto Hospicio. Then the robots came, and he and Gloria moved south.
Gloria goes live in the neural network, where half a million people watch her call out greenwashing. The universal wage covers their rent and food.
At La Hondonada, The Mycelium Network has already planned his shift: plant espino along the northern edge. He once asked for its reasoning, and the response was 40 pages long.
He eats lunch in the shade of a peumo he planted three years ago, when it was knee-high.
At the grocery store, the Network declines his request for avocados because the water cost is too high. He buys beans instead.
Gloria shows him her latest neural verse outfit. He tells her it looks like a computer screensaver.
His parents ask when they can play with a baby. He can’t imagine what his child would do all day, in a world that doesn’t need many to work anymore.
They pack for Enterremos Nuestra Ropa. The seeds in the fibres will sprout, and he thinks of how he went from pulling clothes out of dumps to putting them back into the earth.
