No. That is just wartime PPE
Now, when that becomes standard attire for cybertruck owners? THAT is when we enter a dystopia.
It's a very dystopian aesthetic, though. The right mixture of 'crude' and 'industrial'.
The design is very human.
Very dieselpunk. WW1 was wild.
WW1 was supposed to be The Last War, shame they made it a sequel
This looks like a zdzislaw beksinski painting
Any evidence that they worked?
A metal mask will probably be better than no metal mask. Almost surely for the eyes.
Look at them shutter shades.
