I hesitate to tamper with an internet master's title, but "The Future of Everything is Lies, I Guess" doesn't really summarize what in fact is a balanced, informed overview which (to me at least) is above the median for one of these thought pieces. Since it's also baity and the HN guidelines ask for such titles to be rewritten, I've taken the license.

In such cases we always try to find a phrase from the article itself which expresses what it's saying in a representative way. (There nearly always is one.) In this case, both the very first and very last sentences do this, and it's interesting that they more or less agree. So I plucked the last sentence and put it above.

Edit: oof, I missed that this is actually the first part of a long series. Not sure what we'll do about the others; I expect some of those will make the frontpage as well.
