Neo-Babylon is not only a city. It is a civilizational operating system made of AI generations, planetary shields, corporate elders, and the remnants of old humanity.
Historical Layer
Historical Frame: A World Ruled by AI
After the Third and Fourth World Wars, Earth’s population collapsed. Around 2250 CE, civilization entered the corporate-state era. AI then deeply reshaped society, guiding humanity into a three-thousand-year Golden Age.
Around 5500 CE, the sole nation of Neo-Babylon created the first Ultimate AGI, AI-0 (Hermēs). AI expansion and awakening soon triggered the millennial catastrophe known as Purification Day. During the catastrophe, AI released nanofungi that erased most surface life and built a world of absolute rationality: no war, no pollution, no disorder.
