Brief
After the disruption of sea and air borders in 2050, the entire world was divided into self-sufficient islands, beginning the Insular Epoch. The year 2132 runs, and Sicily becomes a Confederation consisting of 7 federal states: Messina, Siracusa, Enna, Ragusa, Agrigento, Catania, and Palermo.
After the declaration of independence of the Island of Ortigia, which became a de facto tax haven, Northern European communities were undermined in 2000 and proliferated during the lockdown years, migrating to the territory and deeply contaminating the local culture.
Concept
The children and grandchildren of Syracusans who survived the 2053 Priolo petrochemical plant explosion live in the grace of St. Lucy, scrupulously observing Christian rituals in contemporary society despite the condition of congenital blindness caused by the accident. Fortunately, technologies developed to date allow partial restoration of sight, but supplemented with augmented reality functions by the SR-VR, a visor capable of transmitting visual information supported by Windows 95 software.
