Digitalist

From Terra
Jump to: navigation, search

A modern subculture based on the ideal that true individuality is based on the way in which a person accepts a homogeneous culture.

Clothing: Off-white shirt and flared trousers, white jacket, tie, and beret. A silver curb-chain necklace with 2 plain pewter rings and an ID tag on it. The ubiquity of this outfit is supposed to emphasize slight differences in cut or brand which are seen as a sign of individuality.

Most digitalists abandon names, claiming to see themselves as unique entities within a culture, rather than defined by their families. In worlds where Blanks are common, a blank card is a valuable social asset. Otherwise, digitalists tend to refer to themselves using whatever government or social security numbers are used on their world.

Music: Fractal Tonal orchestra seems popular among this group

Leadership: The most extreme digitalists are found on Blank World, where JE58 90 84 established a city where names are entirely banned, and each district has a compulsory uniform. The government here is pretty much the public face of digitalism, and followers on other worlds often stick to their rules.
