“I studied at University College London where they have the Jeremy Bentham auto-icon and the whole concept of that is weird,” Fallout: London project manager Dean ‘Prilladog’ Carter tells me.
“For those that don’t know, basically he mummified himself and he called it his auto-icon and in his little box in UCL is his skeleton. His head didn’t get mummified correctly, so it all melted, so they gave him like a plastic wax head,” he continues. “Literally, I love the idea so much because that alone in the real world – it’s there now – seemed very Fallout. I was like, let’s put Futurama in this kind of deal. We’re gonna whack that head in a glass thing sitting on a Protectron and yeah, the rest is what you see in the mod.”
Thus was born Fallout: London’s Jeremy Bentham bot, a mechanical marvel which lets you see just how dire a failed mummification can be for a person’s hairline. Oh, and it also lets you debate the state of post-apocalyptic London society with the founder of modern utilitarian philosophy.
