It has long been said that the industrialists of the past were referred to as "robber barons" due to the vast wealth accumulated by their factories across multiple industries. This wealth allowed them to exert significant influence and shape the world as they pleased.

Tech giants and new industries in AI-controlled computer systems have created a new generation of robber barons who are attempting to reshape the world as we know it. Unrest, inflation, and conflicts in other nations have fostered an atmosphere of distrust and fear.
