Digital Dreamtime
is the first attempt to take a look beyond the ISA and drop your kicking and screaming Yogangers into a totally
new CyberGeneration environment - Down Under. Don't expect Australia to provide a change of pace, or an environment
where you can run and hide, it's far from that. The Republic of Western Australia seceded from the rest of the country
early in the new millennium and sided with the growing corporate world. The Federal Republic of Australia, comprising
the other seven states and territories attempted to forge its own path, joining ASEAN, and establishing trade
embargoes and sanctions on the fledgling nation. As Western Australia's people enjoyed a healthy standard of living in
a world that was deteriorating out of control, Federal Australia was becoming more and more troubled. Racial
and ethnic problems soon surfaced, a nationalistic movement grew from the backlash, and as society slowly imploded
the government was forced to deal with corporations willing to invest in the country's future.
Society had fractured turning once prosperous suburbs into decaying urban war zones. A population shift north
to the new Dordain Spaceport temporarily slowed economic decline, but in its wake vast areas of urban Australia
were deserted. When the Carbon Plague hit and operations out of the Spaceport were scaled right back, Australia's
fragile connection to the rest of the world was severed.
As it balances precariously on the edge, the government piece by piece is allowing the corporations to suck the
last vestiges of value from its carcass, under the pretext of injecting new blood into its economic veins. This is
the world in which an outspoken TV host Kasey DeSoto and her friends live, where her parents have been murdered, and
her search for answers takes her on a wild and life-altering journey, where she becomes an icon, a figurehead
to a youth movement not yet born.......
