The 3rd world war happened in 2020 and tactical nuclear warfare left the world in a diseased state that lasted for years. Several countries collapsed including many mega-corporations of the then world.
Humanity survived, endured and then recovered in a few years. The war almost wiped the slate clean. But the war left huge portions of the world barren and natural resources were almost exhausted.
Shortages of resources resulted in the 'Resource Wars', smaller conflicts that lasted for years. The war led to the exploitation of the human race when various governments and mega-corporations gave the green light for human cybernetics with human soldiers as test subjects. The resource wars ended in 2055. The human body was now more capable than it was ever before as soon after the war cybernetic modification was made available for the common people.
The destabilization of the various countries and the superpowers led to the rise of the mega-corporations.
When the power of the corporations reached a tipping point and the countries could no longer watch as they created a monopoly over almost every aspect of life, the last war of the century happened in 2080, The Cyber War, where a new battlefield arose, The Cyber-net.
The war ended when both sides lost enough to even out the scale of power and prevented the collapse of the entire human race that was hopelessly dependent on the Cyber-net.
It is 2110 now. The world outside of the mega-metropolis and cities is but a barren wasteland. But nomadic life has thrived and flourished outside the megacities of the world. But this life is not for everyone. Not for Raffael.
