Interface Zero 2.0: Full Metal Cyberpunk (Starfinder)
 |
In a not-so-distant future¸ the world has been ravaged by global warming¸ subjected to the horrors of nuclear war and natural disaster¸ witnessed the collapse of the mightiest nation in the history of the world¸ and the rise of other nations to take its place. In East Asia¸ the Bear and the Dragon battle for control of the resource-rich continent¸ and an emergent A.I. known only as Charon has destabilized the whole of Europe¸ sparking revolution and chaos not seen since the Second World War.
On the North American continent¸ the prospect of conflict once again rears its ugly head as terrorist bombings in Atlantica¸ bring the nation to the brink of war with the North American Coalition. Is this the work of Charon¸ as well¸ or are other forces moving behind the scenes? Only time will tell.
Science has hacked the genome¸ unlocking the secrets of DNA to facilitate the creation of new breeds of human; genetic hybrids¸ human 2.0¸ and even simulacrum- a slave race grown in amniotic vats and sold on the open market. Cybernetic technology has reached the point where those with the money and the will to do so¸ can become living machines. Computer science has grown by leaps and bounds as well.
Dubbed Interface Zero by those who created it¸ the Tendril Access Processor-or TAP-downloads the Global DataNet and Hyper Reality directly into the minds of billions of users across the solar system¸ bringing the world an unparalleled level of interconnectivity¸ and danger. Malware plagues the Deep¸ and hackers manipulate the Tendril Access Processor to upload malicious virii¸ steal secrets¸ and even the identities of the unwary.
This is the world in 2090¸ omae; let's hope you survive it.
