Historical Record
In 2287 the Commonwealth pivots on technology hidden in plain sight. Neighborhoods that survive on trade and scrap are caught up in a rush of revelations about identity, manufacturing, and control. Patrols sweep rail lines; scientists argue procedure; and community leaders negotiate for safety while trying to keep fear from undoing fragile progress.
Historically, 2287 is about what it means to be a person in a world of substitutions. The public conversation turns practical: documentation, consent, and the ethics of invention. Factories and foundries share headlines with orphanages and clinics. The year’s dispatches read like policy drafts for a future where trust is the most precious resource.
