Under Pressure
 |
On Earth in 2100¸ some are reaching for the stars... but others struggle just to survive. Much of the home world remains mired in war and intrigue¸ as powerful corporations and high-tech armies fight over resources¸ markets¸ and ideas. Cities on the edge of chaos are battlegrounds for covert operations and high-stakes diplomacy¸ and the developing nations see themselves falling farther and farther behind. Nations trapped in poverty¸ environmental disaster areas¸ and hellholes run by insane dictators... high-tech terrorism¸ rebellion¸ and crime¸ and rules for creating biological and chemical weapons... dangerous genetic designs¸ obsolete cybertechnology¸ and police state software... all part of daily life in Broken Dreams.
