At a Glance
Catullans blend contradictions into societal soup: they are a competitive, highly individualistic species with a guild-based, collectivist culture. Their world is one of extreme technological ubiquity insomuch as most Catullans possess cybernetic enhancements. Yet many keep small green spaces within their homes and some- the Edenist and Primitivists- reject it all. Catulla was ruled by machines for several centuries: now, Catullans prefer to integrate with their machinery. With compartmentalized notions of privacy, Catullan lives are played out as theatre in a great panopticon, indulging the exhibitionist and voyeur in every one of them. Yet when their privacy is breached, it is one of the worst offenses imaginable. Theirs is a culture with a "street name" for public interaction and a private name for those welcome in the intimate spheres of family and lovers. Their currency and social lubrication is a notion of Reputation, a complex code that determines how far you will get in their ultra-competitive and yet collectivist society.
