A cartoon by Tom Gauld with a single illustration split into four contiguous panels. We first see a person running away from a giant mechanical claw. The caption says: "2050 AD: Society has collapsed and the book festivals have gone rogue." The next panel reveals the claw is attached to a giant dystopian-looking truck, moving on a post-apocalyptic desert landscape. The caption continues: "Their terrifying motorised venues patrol the wastelands, hunting for audience members." The third panel shows more of the truck, with a person reading a book in front of a live audience, watched over by a horned figure with a spear. The caption explains: "Programmer-warlords brutally preside over a relentless series of interviews, discussions and poetry readings." The last panel shows the rear part of the truck, lifting a cloud of dust that enshrouds a person walking away with a tote bag. The caption concludes: "Occasionally, dazed survivors are found wandering with a signed hardback book in a cotton tote bag."
