Cybersphere

Past the ruins of New Carthage, the Wasteland stretches in every direction—a post-apocalyptic expanse lit by glowing sands and populated by the mutant survivors of natural selection at its most brutal. Above and beyond the wasteland, the new world order has taken shape: mega-corporations and crime syndicates divide power, Bangkok hosts black markets of cybernetic technology, and orbital colonies turn slowly on axes of money and privilege. In the matrix network that overlays the physical world, Deckers and console jockeys navigate a data sea that runs parallel to everything—a cognitive space where the battle for information never stops.
