Artwork inspired by Episode 1 of Stories From 2045.

Introduction

When I wrote The Last Retirement, I found myself imagining not only the story, but the images behind it.

What would the final commute look like?

How would it feel to wake up in a world where work had disappeared, and there was nowhere you needed to be?

These two pieces explore those ideas.

🖼️ The Last Commute

The Last Commute imagines the final journey to work in a society where retirement has become obsolete, and employment is no longer a necessity.

The image captures a moment between two worlds: one defined by routine and another defined by uncertainty.

🖼️ The Empty Calendar

The Empty Calendar represents one of the central questions of the story.

If all obligations disappeared tomorrow, what would you do with your time?

For the first time in his life, there was nowhere he needed to be.

These images form the first entry in a growing collection of artwork inspired by Stories From 2045.

Future collections will explore:

  • The Last Human Queue

  • Arthur

  • The Library of Unwritten Lives

  • The Continuance

and other stories from this evolving world.

The Creative Studio is the workshop behind The Third Act

This is where stories become artwork, ideas become projects, and imagination takes shape.

Here you’ll find artwork collections from Stories From 2045, photography, AI art experiments, creative projects and behind-the-scenes insights into the creative process.

Diary of a Nobody is built around stories, reflections, observations and questions.

The Creative Studio is where those ideas take shape.

Sometimes that means artwork.

Sometimes it means photography.

Sometimes it means a podcast, a piece of jewellery, a future story, a journal entry or a new experiment.

This is the workshop behind the publication.

A place to explore the creative process, share projects in development and follow ideas from their first spark to their final form.

Not every project will succeed.

Not every experiment will work.

That’s part of the journey.

Welcome to The Creative Studio.
