The World from Afar

This world . . . what can I say? Much has changed over the years since the technocapital singularity was realized. Businesses were subsumed one after another by exceedingly larger corporate entities that had the finance to invest in better, self-correcting machines, thereby shutting out the competition. This went on for quite some time until there were only three major corporations left, at which point they decided to merge together into a singular, all-encompassing superstructure known as Basilisk. This coalition had more power than anything like the UN, for it had all the money. Strangely enough, the governing bodies that sought to limit corporate influence were not only overthrown by finance capital interests, but were in-fact replaced by them altogether. Basilisk was now the global authority.
