The year is 2026. Every one in the world carries powerful pocket computers. Most of the world's cultural decisions are made within a text, video and image based metaverse. AIs roam the internet posing as humans. Huge portions of the populace inject drugs to modify their bodies called "peptides". Plastics and metal manufacturing is done in homes with desktop devices that revolutionaries use to make guns and killer drones. War zones are covered in vast meshes of fiberoptic cables that look like giant spider webs. Despite actively fighting political battles about AI rights, most people alive insist they don't live in a cyberpunk setting.
