About this listen
Sowing the End: A Quest for Growth at All Costs is a dark satirical allegory about an isolated farmer whose quiet existence is upended by a strange creature with an insatiable hunger for more.
Alone on the remote island of Capita, Noel Smith has lived a simple, self-sufficient life with only Pip, his ever-watchful gull, and Herbert, his scarecrow, for company—until the day the creature arrives. At first, it offers little wonders in exchange for food, but as the deal darkens, the demands grow. Soon, J.
E.F.F.—an eerily helpful AI “farm facilitator”—begins to take over his fields, and the land itself starts to wither under the weight of endless growth.
What begins as a promise of prosperity soon spirals into something far more insidious. As his world is reshaped around him, Noel must face an unsettling truth: some deals can never be undone.
A darkly satirical dystopian fable, Sowing the End explores themes of rampant consumerism, pollution, climate change, and AI-driven automation. Lurking beneath its allegorical surface is a question that lingers long after the last page: who, or what, do we truly serve?
