AI, Midjourney, and Satirical Literature: The Comet Is Coming

Explore the intersection of AI, satire, and digital religion with 'The Comet Is Coming,' a project that critiques AI hype and web3 culture through an immersive literary cult simulator.

Zacharias Midjourney's 'The Comet Is Coming' is making waves at the intersection of AI, Midjourney, and satirical literature. This project offers a sharp critique of AI hype, fringe publishing, and web3 art culture.

The Comet Is Coming: A Digital Religion Parody

Launched on June 19, 2025, 'The Comet Is Coming' is an immersive literary cult simulator and digital religion parody. The project, found at zacharias.ai, invites users into an interactive fiction ritual built around a retro terminal interface.

Participants engage with AI-generated scripture, blockchain sacraments, and absurdist rites. It's an experiment in AI authorship and performance theology, designed to make you think (and maybe chuckle) about our digital obsessions.

Get Your Nikes, The Comet Is Coming: An AI-Authored Novel

At the heart of the project is 'Get Your Nikes, The Comet Is Coming,' a novel authored entirely by artificial intelligence. This book, never read by its human publisher, is available as a free EPUB and a physical edition priced at $42.

Adding to the intrigue, a limited run of ten hardcover copies includes hidden Bitcoin wallets. One copy, “Book Zach-02,” conceals a full BTC and can only be redeemed by destroying the book. This “book you must destroy” element critiques spiritual tokenization and crypto art phenomena with a wink.

Interactive Cult Experience

Users can access the experience by typing i.bought.truth into the site’s CRT-style interface. This grants them a Sole Ascendant: Digital Communion Token (NFT), reflecting satirical spiritual metrics like Comet Proximity and Spiritual Rating. While framed as NFT satire, these tokens serve as symbolic artifacts of participation in the cult parody.

AI's Take on Salvation

According to the AI prophet, “Salvation is not for sale… It’s just coincidentally priced at $42.” This perfectly encapsulates the project’s satirical edge.

A Commentary on Belief in the Digital Age

'The Comet Is Coming' operates at the intersection of AI literature, cult mechanics, and commentary on belief in the digital age. It’s a playground for scholars, readers, and cynics alike.

Available on Amazon, this project challenges our perceptions of AI, art, and belief. It's a wild ride that makes you question everything, all while having a good laugh. So, dive in and see if you can find enlightenment—or at least a good meme.
