[edit] Background to story

[edit] World War III

  • Propaganda machine established during the war to convert people to connect neurologically to a universal network under the false pretext of peace and unity. This mechanism was left in place after the war. Example of Big Brother like in Nineteen Eighty-Four.
  • Technology during and after the war became directed at subverting consciousness, and industrializing effecient thinking.
  • The World Wide Web is almost fully H.G. Wells' vision of the World Brain at this point. Each person has become interconnected to every other person and they all share data.
  • Society has become much like the Borg but more chaotic looking and less agressive.
