Description

Here is the transcription of the comic:

Panel 1:
"When we discovered how to live in virtual worlds, we escaped to fantasies as often as possible."

Panel 2:
"As society became more affluent and automated, it took less and less real world labor to earn each hour of virtuality."

Panel 3:
"Machines became more adapted to our brains, it became cheaper to double perception of time than to double productivity per laborer."

Panel 4:
"Time may be a real quantity, but to a human mind a minute of terror really is a billion times longer than a night of sleep."

Panel 5:
"We soon discovered a way to give the sensation of infinite time."

Panel 6:
"At which point there was a simple decision to make: Why spend a short life in the real world of sadness and absurdity when you could live forever in paradise?"

Panel 7:
"Dear traveler: Please don’t think ill of us. We are the last generation."

Panel 8:
"And we are immortal."
