Was flipping through System Crash earlier and came onto the section talking about the assorted nuclear bombs that WInternight had set off. The nukes were changed to make small atomic blasts but large EMP ones, so that the explosive blast would only be between 500-800 meters in radius and the EMP much further. The Boston Bomb went off during the Novatech IPO, and ...
I'm confused. I mean, Boston is the site of the UCAS Stock Exchange and the HQ for NeoNet, later Novatech, RIchard Viller's hometown and ground zero for the AI three-way dance. But a nuke went off in it. So ... how does this work, exactly? Did they move the stock exchange back to New York afterwards? How did the fallout effect the local area? How much of Boston got levelled and does *anyone* live there anymore? How does a high-tech company like Novatech thrive on the EMP'd ruins of a major city? Has someone quietly thrown some rebuilding efforts via the Handwavium Group to get the city back up to 2063 levels of prosperity or what? A lot of it matters on just where the bomb went off, I suppose, but ... Anyone have a bit of a lowdown on this one? |
