In the early 21st Century, seven billion people died
during a global papillomavirus outbreak. As the disease
tore through communities, the world’s governments
took radical action to ensure humanity’s survival:
the brains of the dying were scanned, modelled, and
uploaded to a vast computer simulation housed in
enormous data centers around the globe.
They called this simulation
Arcadia.
