This article is about the concept within the setting. For the role-playing game, see The Veil.
The Mesh is a combination of the internet, holograms, and other digitally-constructed worlds.
In the Golden Branch in COUNTER/Weight, it may be accessed through cybernetics or visual displays, or fogged (hacked) directly by Strati. Calls, concerts, AI clerks, and entire cities make use of the Mesh for a variety of purposes.
Within the Twilight Mirage, it is also known as the Veil. Most inhabitants of the Divine Fleet dwell within its mixed reality, thanks to neurochips or nanomachines which allow them to experience the world through digital overlays.
“
Everyone is connected through a technology called neurochips and it has pulled The Veil over everyone’s eyes. It is our new reality. Mixing our reality with the digital, we now traverse a new world. One where the digital and physical occupy the same space and interact with us as though they were one and the same. We see and feel our future emblazoned on our minds and on our skin as it holds or caresses or destroys the humanity we have left. Our reality is a hybrid one—full of possibility. Of more, yes; but, perhaps, of less too.”
