Meanings
-
A horrific landscape.
The city with the good fruit and the good bread has been turned into a stateless cyberpunk horrorscape, the bad dream of modernity, a zone of continually expanding human biomass, but where all the infrastructure that makes modern cities inhabitable has been bombed flat, so the streets are periodically flooded with raw sewage.
