Its solar and nuclear reactors power practically the entire Southeast region. ## NEXUS BIOTECH Specialized in human implants. Its slogan: "The next step in evolution is artificial. "

EXPRESS MAIL

The former delivery company has transformed into a gigantic automated logistics network.

Drones and robots deliver practically anything.

Even so, human motorcycle couriers continue to exist — mainly because they can reach places where machines can't.

🌃 Technology

Technology is part of the life of absolutely every Brazilian in 2099. Even in the poorest communities, people use devices and implants to survive day-to-day.

💸 Pix Neural

Pix has evolved into a system fully integrated with the human body.

Small implants connected to the banking system allow payments to be made simply by bringing a hand close to a terminal, using biometric and neural recognition.

It's also possible to send money simply by looking at the contact in an augmented reality interface.

👓 Augmented Reality Lenses

Almost the entire population uses smart lenses or glasses that display information in real time.

They show:

messages; city maps;
Identity of people close to you; personalized ads;
*notifications;

• product prices;
  social networks; security cameras;
  *Instant translation.

🧠 Cybernetic Implants

Implants can improve strength, vision, memory, reflexes, and communication.

Legal implants are sold by companies, but the black market offers modified and extremely dangerous versions.

Illegal workshops in the suburbs are famous for installing cheap and hacked implants.

🚁 Drones

The skies of cities are full of drones.

There are drones for:

• delivery;
  police; ambulance;
  press; private security;
  passenger transport; street vendors.

Some neighborhoods have community drones controlled by the residents themselves.

🤖 Artificial Intelligences

AIs manage traffic, energy, hospitals, banks, and parts of public safety.

Some obey humans completely.

Others began to act in ways that even their creators can't explain.

🍻 DAILY LIFE

Despite the absurd technology, some things have never changed.

Bars remain crowded.

People are still complaining about the traffic.

Football remains a national obsession.

Barbecues are still around.

Brazilians continue to make jokes in completely inappropriate situations.

And someone is always trying to find a way to circumvent some technological system.

Example:

"Did the system block my entry?"

"Relax. I know a guy who knows a guy."
