A group of miserable men walking in a circle (Van Gogh's 'Prisoners'); they are cupped in two giant hands, between which protrudes a raygun that is bathing them in a sinister yellow-red light. In one corner sits a supremely self-satisfied business man, reclining in a comfortable chair, surrounded by fluffy clouds. The background is a hellscape of red smoke and brimstone. 25fa6da1a4ab6e88.jpg A group of miserable men walking in a circle (Van Gogh's 'Prisoners'); they are cupped in two giant hands, between which protrudes a raygun that is bathing them in a sinister yellow-red light.

It brandishes a double-barreled shotgun. Its head is the glaring red eye of HAL 9000 from Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey.' It is bearing down on a male suited figure who is in the process of slipping and falling on his ass. His head has been replaced by a hoodie, which casts his face into shadow. He has lost control of a laptop that is about to fall to the ground. It displays a Windows Blue Screen of Death.

The background is a fiery, smoky hellscape.

He stands before a knob-festooned control desk and a background of hundreds of gridded knobs and dials. A grinning poop emoji peers over the control desk.
