The Red Reed

In an age of finite resources, traditional values had reemerged. During the twenty-first century, a digital cataclysm shattered society: some muddle with AI and a global data purge, though no one knows for certain. Still, I suppose it doesn’t matter; society undid itself, falling to chaos at the lack of what we had come to take for granted. Not wishing to repeat itself, the world government banned technology and any further advancement of it. In this new era, true value remained inancienthistory: art, records, culture—anything the ancient world used to not only survive, but prosper. With the lessons of the past, we have learned to rebuild a world independent of machine.
