Shen Zhou today is inundated by media; be it TV shows, movies, magazines, graffiti, billboards or information and entertainment available through the Nets. A powerful tool for social control, the only reason it is somewhat ineffectual is the vast net of competing influences at work. Every Clan, government and dozens of independent factions all seek to pursue radically different social goals, making any coherent, concerted effort at control doomed to failure. | Shen Zhou today is inundated by media; be it TV shows, movies, magazines, graffiti, billboards or information and entertainment available through the Nets.

The darknets are, of course, a sea of useful information and completely unfounded rumor. Whatever the topic, you can find someone who knows everything about it... or at least claims to. The difficulty of fact-checking is as prevalent here as anywhere else, but at least organized attempts at obfuscation are rare. Anyone familiar with the darknets probably knows a few trustworthy places to go for information, of course. | The darknets are, of course, a sea of useful information and completely unfounded rumor.
