For centuries, humanity entrusted its destiny to progress, reason, and the mastery of technology. Yet what it calls rebirth is merely the ultimate consequence of its own history: order becomes surveillance, community becomes conformity, the return to the sacred becomes entangled with power, and technology, now a total infrastructure, assumes control over what it was once meant to serve. Plurality dissolves, memory is suspended, and every distinction is declared superfluous. It is harmony without freedom, unity without difference, peace without limits.

And it is then that Gates is born: a final attempt to return to the origins of modernity, before humanity forgets what makes it human.
