# Setting

TC is a low-tech sci-fi MUD. Computer systems are severely regulated following a partial Earth takeover of a benevolent dictator AI called the Second Collapse. Corrupt politicians are jailed. Harmful industries shutter. Wealth and power begin getting redistributed as it begins to build Utopia.

The panicked ruling classes pool their resources into an astroturfed revolution of Neoluddites who embrace techno-terrorism in the name of supposed freedom. It works. Radio towers and data centers burn in a global wave of misplaced violence. The infrastructure that powers the internet is destroyed.  Demagogues vow to never again let technology rule over mankind.

Twenty four years later, the outer belt asteroid Gaia 04 loses all communication from Earth. That wouldn't be a problem for most Belters except your paycheck came from an Earth corp, so now you're de facto unemployed. What are you going to do now, mine and fish?
