New sci-fi concept album from The Cotton Modules is out today. šŸŽµ Of course, it comes with a tappable short story becauseā€¦ Robin Sloan. šŸ„°

The Deep Space Sloop John Bethel was leaving Earth because culture hadĀ stopped.

It was an age of paranoia andĀ boredom.

Politics and entertainment ran in a dumb, dark loopā€Šā€”ā€Šthe regurgitations of banal AIs that were, apparently, goodĀ enough.

Album art. Some kind of vessel floating around in space. Probably the deep space sloop John Bethel. It says The Cotton Modules: The Greatest Remaining Hits.
