Some nice infos in that book.I've used two components to get the campaign world to the point where I want to have it: 1) War. After several wars lasting some years (diving the population into two groups), the two powers went to war, equipped with end-20th century technology. The war lasts over thousand years. Billions died over the decades, the survivors retreated into large subterran "cities", where they are protected from surprising missile attacks and the heat of the sun. The two groups didn't fell apart, because the survival of one group depends on the power and the survival of each city. A lot of improvements to warfare technology were made, resulting in space battleships, hovertanks and handy rail guns as well as biological advances (genetics, and the like)2) Heavy industries not bothering about climate and plant life. Each group uses every possible ressource to achieve victory without caring for the environment. This resulted in global warming, and the depletion of water supplies. At the end of the war, each group sends out raiding parties to gather junk in ruined cities or old battlefields, which is then recycled to built new weapons.</blockquote>
