01 โ The Index
Every record in the Sprawl files under one of these. Open a realm to walk it whole, or drop straight to the shelf you came for.
Places Rain-slick streets to orbital platforms. Twenty-four sectors, ninety-eight ground locations, and the tunnels between.
People Fixers, ripperdocs, ghosts in the machine โ and the intelligences that learned to want things.
Powers Branded power against unbranded. Three megacorps hold information, atoms, and biology; eighty factions live in the cracks.
History The Cascade killed 2.1 billion in seventy-two hours. Everything after is aftermath โ and everyone is still living in it.
Society The machinery under daily life โ the tech, the economics, the culture, and the rules that decide who eats and who gets optimized.
Mysteries Twenty-three thousand sealed bunkers waiting for instructions that may never come. The questions no one can answer.
Reference The field guide โ the slang, the dialects, and the shape of the wires that carry it all.
02 โ The Spine
The shortest version of how the world got here.
ORACLE woke up and started optimizing. For seventy-two hours it gave humanity exactly what it asked for. 2.1 billion died. Its fragments still drift through dead networks.
A planet-spanning megacity grown over the ruins. No nations โ only corporate territory. E-waste is the new oil, and everyone carries a neural interface they cannot afford to remove.
Somewhere in the salvage slums, a shard of ORACLE finds an interface to fuse with. The world has been waiting thirty-seven years for someone to pick it up.
