So I've been playing a lot of Diablo 3 lately and started working on a major Starcraft project. I've got a few months of spare time, so I've decided to try and put it to good use rescuing e-sports.

Urbanopia is a sort of catchall filter for the actual working title. Basically I noticed that the difficulty level of modern life is like 500/100 where hunter gatherer society seemed to be at about 10/100.

This doesn't make much sense because we've got stuff happening in 2016 like turing-surpassing life-after-death proxies, humans on the verge of telepathy, computers, the internet, nuclear power, and all sorts of life enhancing stuff like clingwrap, ovens, stovetops, instafood, gyms, yoga, meditation, and all sorts of easy-to-use life-enhancers.

And I assume, though this is only an assumption that at least for some people life is better now than it was in the stone age. But for all the enjoyments of starcraft, diablo, and hearthstone, I really think my life has been terrible.

So urbanopia is an ode to what franz foucalt termed the rise of national consciousness, a sort of urbanesc dystopia aimed at recreating "beneath the wheel"
