Arcon, like many cities in the year of 2096, has a plethora of locales to explore. Various companies and manufacturing agencies occupy entire neighborhoods, carving for themselves little fiefdoms within the sprawl, while Punkers, Workers, and all manner of folks besides take it upon themselves to do some carving of their own, building towards a better future from the pile of rubble called “history.” From the corpo-ridden skylines of Downtown Heights, to the irradiated Plains of Penance, fit for only the most adventurous of Droods, yes, Arcon has it all.
Within Arcon, you will find so much more than a simple city in a desolate waste, bathed in neon daylight. Within this book, you will find a world that holds countless streets and avenues to explore, adventures that will lead far beyond the bleeding edge of modern technologies, and opportunities to take a true and decisive stand against the powers that be and maybe, just maybe, come out on the other side in one piece.
Enjoy your time in the City of Neon Daylight!

Bigots and fascists are not welcome to use Arcon in any way, shape, form, or fashion. It is a city that is open to all ethnicities, faiths (or lack thereof), gender identities, sexualities, (dis)abilities, and marginalized groups, and such support is reflected in the text explicitly.
The content and themes explored in this book include resistance against capitalistic exploitation, classism and economic inequality, and violence that can occur in a highly capitalist society on a societal level as well as an individual one. As well, cybernetics and heavy body modification is featured heavily in Arcon, and this can cross over into potential areas of body horror.
