'The Takeaway Economy' comic skewers AI-summarized reading: 400 pages reduced to 5 bullets

A four-panel satirical comic, 'The Takeaway Economy,' mocks AI-summarized intellectual life: the protagonist no longer 'reads' but has AI digest a 400-page Odyssey into five bullet points between meetings, and flattens philosophy into LinkedIn-style '3 Mistakes to Avoid' takes. The punchline lands in the final panel: when circumstances change and real thinking is required, the man who 'eliminated the burden of thinking' can only ask the AI to extract a bullet point for that too.
