"Everything we are doing is for the good of the world. Positron MUST NOT FAIL, because if it does, the world will end."
Consensus is a science-fiction dystopic tragedy set in the near-far future of humanity. It spans humanity's antimatter age, starting from the energy collapse of the 2030s, through the rule of Positron Industries and its successor superstate, to the cataclysmic Reckoning, and the rising of human civilization from the fractured world.
The question that Consensus asks: is control tyranny if the alternative is annihilation?
Note that years are marked as Years Before Consensus (BCo) and Years of Consensus (YC). 0 YC translates to 2046 AD.
