We can’t wait to share this game with you, it’s being developed fast and furiously as we try to out race the machines ourselves! 😉 The first step to get the Last Taxi from us to you is to support our Steam Greenlight project. We’re creating a rich story-world to explore the many interesting possibilities of the future, the tone will be irreverent, absurd, hopeful, dark and at time philosophical. By providing a uniquely human experience to the mostly-human customers within your cab you’ll have to differentiate yourself from your more cost effective robotic contemporaries, as well as navigate the costs of operating your cab, and keep your family happy. You’ll attempt to make your service relevant in a changed world, facing off against AUTOnomous and FUBUR, the massive transportation corporations of the future who have fully embraced an automated work force.

#The last taxi drivers
With hundreds of millions out of work, and human drivers all but extinct, you’ll play the last taxi driver…ever. The Last Taxi takes place at the precipice between todays worlds and the future. This last taxi dance is either a strange cry for help or a final happy moment in an otherwise forgotten life. It will be an era of uncertainty, when questions of whether the average citizen will find their footing is still an open and uncomfortable question. The Last Taxi takes place in at the tail end of the Automation Revolution, when the affects of this revolution have shaken what we in the early 21st century know as life. These questions inspired our latest story telling endeavour, and next video game - The Last Taxi. It would seem that unlike any period of history before, we’re going to be challenged by what it means to be human.

Decentralized, atomized, and alternately tranquilized and jacked up on cheap beer and meth, this is the world of Beckett, Godard, Robbe-Grillet.' Full Stop 'In Lou, Durkee has created a fascinatingly complex character. We’re looking to the future, both inspired and anxious of this approaching age, and we wanted to create a game that allowed us to explore the many facets of what this future may hold. 'The Last Taxi Driver is a Canterbury Tales for our time. This intriguing YouTube Documentary titled “Humans Need Not Apply” will help set the groundwork for the the types of ideas we’re putting into our latest project. One of the next major industries to be irrevocably affected by this revolution is the transportation industry, due to the advent of self-driving cars, delivery drones and many other equally impressive emerging technologies. While new jobs may emerge to pickup the slack, we enter the future uncertain of where we’ll end up. As with every revolution before it, many jobs will be lost as tasks which once took many, will now require only but a few. Like the Industrial Revolution, or the Agriculture Revolution before it, our society is about to face another massive shift known as the Automation Revolution. This advancement is at the core of who we are, but it also risks changing what we are, for better or for worse. Our advancement extends to all aspects of modern western life, and today we hold more computing power in our pocket than was available to all of mankind throughout most of our history. Farms have become factories run by a handful of people, and the former or would be farmers have found other ways to make a living. Where once everyone had to trudge through the dirt just to grow a meal, today – due to our advancements only a few have to. In agriculture we’ve gone from sticks, to plows, to tractors. We’re so clever that we’ve created tools to do things so we don’t have to. Nº de ref.Our species can be pretty smart. Equal parts Bukowski and Portis, Durkee's darkly comic novel is a feverish, hilarious, and gritty look at a forgotten America and a man at life's crossroads. Lou is forced to decide how much he can take as a driver, and whether keeping his job is worth madness and heartbreak.Shedding nuts and bolts, The Last Taxi Driver careens through highways and back roads, from Mississippi to Memphis, as Lou becomes increasingly somnambulant and his fares increasingly eccentric. With Uber moving into town and his way of life vanishing, his girlfriend moving out, and his archenemy dispatcher suddenly returning to town on the lam, Lou must finish his bedlam shift by aiding and abetting the host of criminal misfits haunting the back seat of his disintegrating Town Car. Meet Lou-a lapsed novelist, struggling Buddhist, and UFO fan-who drives for a ramshackle taxi company that operates on the outskirts of a north Mississippi college town.
Hailed by George Saunders as "a true original-a wise and wildly talented writer," Lee Durkee takes readers on a high-stakes cab ride through an unforgettable shift.
