There is not a single legend of the flood; there is a collection of different traditions. Flood narratives are virtually universal, the primary reason being that floods are the most universal of geological catastrophes. The deluge erases the boundaries that define the world, between land and water, mountains and valleys. This piece continues the endeavour initiated with The Big Smoke (2023), which explored the impact of climate change on our daily environment, and the way in which the acceleration of technologies such as generative AI is altering the perception of our reality. Today, the deluge is no longer a myth but a climatic reality. Unlike myths where the flood is singular, the climate crisis is shaping up as a series of increasingly frequent extreme events. Thus, the deluge is no longer a tale of the past but a challenge of the present and the future.
