| |
− |
| |
− | Our apocalypse is a global dust bowl, with storms that gradually beat down humanity. Scarcities of food, of shelter. The storms are the physical manifestation of the Maelstrom - here called just the Storm - the remaining network of satellites creating a disturbing infosphere of cut-up TV and radio transmissions.
| |
− |
| |
− | - the Storm´s heaviness is associated directly with the number of satellites overhead
| |
− | - it represents a storm of cultural debris to match the physical dust storm
| |
− | - when the storm is near, tvs turn on and radios speak in dead tongues
