Worldbuilding with No-Code is the Future of Digital Life
How the rise of no-code tools will empower people to escape the mundane and create their own fantasies.
In the near future, “normal” people will use no-code software to create fantasies that will fulfill their need for escapism. This essay explores how and why we get there.
“We’ve all been raised on television to believe that one day we’d all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won’t. And we’re slowly learning that fact. And we’re very, very pissed off.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club
Most people end up taking a resigned and fatalistic path towards accepting their place in life. They settle into “normal” life and its routine instead of finding ways to build a path forward. They spend free time searching for ways to escape their personal reality.
It’s called escapism and it’s on the rise. Combine this trend with converging technologies like no-code software and it’s possible to envision a future with new forms of escapism.
