About

Earth 2045 is a very different place from the planet last century. The scarring of the past war is evident to every inhabitant although no rubble is visible, no bodies or radiation lie here. For the last War was a War fought by huge Media Giants. The new spectator Sport, known as Burning, provides the masses with entertainment and lines the pockets of those who show it. Only the bravest can burn out. Only the strongest. Only the Best.
