The future is here without any of the glamor. And anyone still alive to witness it still has a chance to make a difference. What is that future going to be like? That depends on whose mind you're in.
I'm amused that one day, Sindome may be considered a historical setting.
Go back in time, to an age before the Interstack, where people had to travel in flying cars and perform manual labor such as package delivery. Travel to a time where corporations and billionaires still ruled the world, and their power was left unchecked by greedy officials. Learn ancient skills such as hacking, biomodification, and swordfighting and wage war in a time where nobody had energy after a 14-hour workday to organize freedom-fighting operations. You are now entering... The Sindome.
