# Rust to Dust
|
|
|
|
Rust to Dust is Weksa's first proving ground.
|
|
|
|
It is a setting about neo-colonial culture shock under a galaxy-spanning empire
|
|
that does not need to conquer humanity in the old military sense. The empire
|
|
arrives, plugs Earth into its cultural network, and lets prestige, media, alien
|
|
ultratech, and overwhelming artistic excellence do the work.
|
|
|
|
Within a generation, human children speak in alien memes, adopt alien body
|
|
decoration norms, and judge human culture against imperial forms that are almost
|
|
impossible not to admire. Resistance itself becomes aesthetically legible to the
|
|
empire.
