Inspiration comes from a 33-foot steel monolith - known as 'Earth’s Black Box' - that is currently being constructed in the wilderness of Tasmania. Its purpose is to serve as a durable, solar-powered archive that records the environmental and societal factors leading to humanity’s potential collapse. Equipped with advanced algorithms, the box will continuously gather and store data on climate change, political actions, energy consumption, biodiversity loss, and even social media trends—over 500 vital metrics in total. The goal is simple yet profound: if civilization falls, this indestructible recorder will help future generations - or any intelligent life that discovers it - understand what happened, why, and how it might have been prevented.
