The world was never the same after that fateful day in July when ARPANET went public. The once-great network, which had been humming along for years, suddenly became a battleground for resources and survival. The first to realize this were the hackers, who saw an opportunity to exploit the newly opened system for their own gain.

As I trudged through the desolate wasteland, my backpack full of scavenged goods, I stumbled upon a makeshift settlement. They were frantically trying to fix a damaged server, but it was clear they had no idea what they were doing. 'We need to hack our way into this,' one of them shouted, 'or else we'll never have enough bandwidth!' I shook my head in disgust. These people didn't even understand the basics.

I continued on my journey, searching for a place where knowledge was still revered and not just exploited. But every city I visited was like this – chaotic, desperate, and lacking any semblance of order. It was as if the internet had unleashed a beast upon the world, and now we were all at its mercy.
