Cyberspace (also known as C-Space, the Net or the Web) is a digital realm where all computers communicate and store data.
Overview[]
Special electrodes grafted into a Neural Interface let users "jack" into a Cyberspace Terminal of a computer network. The user's neurosensors translate the data structures of a computer network into a surreal visual simulation, which the user can navigate to access data, open electronic locks, and otherwise manipulate the system.
Hackers infiltrate specific areas in Cyberspace owned by companies, governments, or individuals with intent to steal or alter information. Time is of the essence for unauthorized users as hunter-killer routines are tracing for their location, disconnecting them from the Net after a few minutes. Watchdog security programs prowl Cyberspace for any foreign presence, attacking it. If a user's software integrity (Cyberspace health) runs out as a result of these attacks, their Net link is broken and they are ejected from Cyberspace, fatigued and injured from the shock.
Appearance[]
Cyberspace represents the aggregate of all computer network traffic, which cannot ordinarily be seen. A neural interface can translate this world of 1's and 0's into an immersive hallucination where important programs manifest as floating geometric shapes in immense rooms of glowing wireframe. Hallways between rooms represent rivers of data between nodes, which drag the user along in digital currents. Corporations have their own guarded logo-like icons within which their data is stored.
