War:
And so the stage is set. The most human of emotions expressed in violence. A 'Clausewitzian fog' descends.
Rival standards, algorithmic rulers, collapsing states, desperate populations. Proxy wars ignite across jungles, seas, and cities.
Drones hum above. Satellites burn. Soldiers and civilians alike fight not only for territory, but for control of systems that promise either freedom, or total domination.
