It’s somewhere in between, I want it to be very grounded but also still considering some of the crazy shit that’s entirely possible.

To be brief, it’s basically like Cyberpunk + The Fire Rises (HOI4 mod) + Pantheon, it’s a recovering post collapse world where most of the recovery is being facilitated by AI.

It’s sort of like post cyberpunk, maybe urban solarpunk? If you lived in the US you wouldn’t have access to the same luxuries of globalization anymore, at least to the same extent, infrastructure would be crumbled, there would be no federal structure, but communities would still make do and build on top of the ruins of capital. Whereas cyberpunk is high tech low life this scenario would be high tech high life but no fucking infrastructure
