The Gaia Complex – Evolution by Design
Few can dispute that Gaia; Hansor Innovations’ shining star of artificial intelligence, is primarily responsible for humanity thriving in New Europe. But life in 2120 is about more than the human race. Ferals interface with the wild beasts of the metropolis, running free through the rain-soaked streets. Vampires lurk in the shadows of the Outer Fringe, waging a deadly blood war against rival syndicates. And Gaia herself conducts secret experiments as the New Europe police force deploys a wave of advanced law enforcement units to the streets. Evolution by Design provides an in-depth look at the game’s three significant ‘non-human’ elements: ferals, vampires and artificial intelligence.
