* ''True anarchy'' — The society aboard Lagrange, Castor, and Pollux borders on a true anarchy. While there are some efforts to steer the general track of the society, they tend toward maintaining that anarchy rather than enforcing any core rule. Even the two specified organizations who poke at this, The Council of Eight in the System’s early days and The Guiding Council on the Pollux launch vehicle, in theory act only as advisory bodies. The Guiding Council does take a far more governance-oriented role near the end of the 2300s. | * ''True anarchy'' — The society aboard Lagrange, Castor, and Pollux borders on a true anarchy.

While climate change continues to wreak havoc, people still live out their lives reading, writing, loving, hating, cooking shitty breakfasts for each other. Death remains a constant, life remains something to cling to. Many upload, of course, perhaps leaning on the subsidies offered by governments, but many do not. | ||
