Simulacra XXI Century Memorial
Describe a ruined structure that nature has reclaimed. What was its original purpose?
Simulacra City is built literaly upon the ruins of the now completely flooded ex-city of New York, on Manhattan Island. Simulacra Users, however have a special taste for travelling to the lowest levels and look for ancient stuff or tech to retrieve and resell as memorabilia or places to film and study. This is due to the rapid expansion of technology that happened after the Singularity and invention of the SCAN Nano Technology which made a huge break into human history. From that moment on, people didn't have a need for industry anymore. The new technology made the Open Utopia possible: if you can design it, the nano foam can make it! From that poin on technology became like some sort of magic or cult or substance, like alchemy. However this new technology lack the coherence that ancient tech had back in the days, where there was a uniformity of materials used transversely across different branches of production. Also, things made in that are sturdier, so Users like to collect those objects and base their personal designs upon those. So People of Simulacra can access the ruins from special gates located almost everywhere in the lower levels that lead to already explored paths which are mapped and patrolled by units and drones. Every user can navigate this places freely by purchasing a ticket for the Simulacra XXI Century Memorial. Every object retrieved must be registered to the local authority of Simulacra City or scanned and registered onto the NETWORK. Needless to say that during the decades, objects that wait underground to be retrieved were decimated by turists, so to find the good stuff you need to purchase a specialized guide to the necropolis or travel alone which is considered illegal. People who explore the paths are usually students and archeologists or tomb raiders. There's also a small number of Engineers which are so old to been able to remember that age and travel there just for nostalgia! Engineers can usually make their way into reprogramming drones and bots so they walk around in the deepest parts of the necropolis freely.
