TECHNOLOGYPast investments allow SAR citizens ree access to unparallelled Interace bandwidth,
at least when the power’s on: live Immatrix broadcasts are the latest luxury, allowing
the audience to eel actors’ every sensation in real time. 24/7 celebrity gossip eeds,bootlegs o L.A.’s latest, manhua webcomics, and mahjong gambling “schools” are
welcome distractions rom the squalor o lie underground. O necessity, the region
is a hotbed o innovation or wearable air filtration gear.
ENVIRONMENTHong Kong’s “ragrant harbor” is a etid mess; seasonal typhoons and pollution rom
mainland actories use into month-long acidic downpours, orcing the masses into
warrens extending hundreds o meters into the bedrock. Only Te Clean can afford
the augmentations that keep unfiltered time outdoors non-lethal; everyone else
makes do with coated raingear and filter-masks. When the Air Pollution Index dips
low enough, the streets erupt in impromptu estival; there hasn’t been a sae day in
years.
SOCIETY
On the surace, the city is thriving. But triad and corporate corruption o gov-ernment officials has enmeshed the city in debt, and lef it unable to maintain its
inrastructure, negotiate with the mainland, enorce the law, or compete as a port.
Periodic power outages turn the slums into a claustrophobic hell or hours at a time,
with air filtration and temperature control limping along via jury-rigged batteries.
