State of the Art 2073
The Edge of Now
Some people think that being state-of-the-art means being on the bleeding-edge of technology. That's part of it¸ but only a small part. If you really want to be current¸ if you want to know what's going on in the world and how it might affect you¸ you need to know about a lot more than new tech. You need to know about current events - like the speech Hestaby gave to the United Nations that put the dragons of the Sixth World into an uproar. You need to know what you'll see on the roads¸ from new vehicles to re-purposed classics. You need to know about the latest research on Awakened plants and the exceedingly creative uses scientists are putting them to.
Take those elements and stir in up-to-date information on important people and places - like cagey intelligence ace Samantha Roth and the tumultuous nation of Thailand - and you have a dossier that can help runners stay current and make sure they know what's happening now in the Sixth World. Because the runner caught up in yesterday is a runner that's been left behind.
