Scheduled for release later this year, The Worlds of Android is a beautiful, 272-page hardbound book and your access point to a deeper understanding of the Android setting and its unique depiction of the not-too-distant future!

In the rich, fictional setting made popular by Android: Netrunner and the Android board game, the world has changed, but people have not. Technological advances have dramatically reshaped daily life, making work more efficient and play more convenient than ever before. Earth is dotted by massive megacities, millions of people inhabit settlements on the Moon and Mars, and the nature of humanity itself has been redefined by the introduction of clones and true artificial intelligence. Still, the rich use these technologies to grow richer, and the disparity between the "haves" and the "have nots" has widened to staggering extremes by the solar system's four largest megacorps: Haas-Bioroid, Jinteki, NBN, and the Weyland Consortium.

This future, its technology, its major players, and its many conflicts lie at the heart of The Worlds of Android. Within its lavishly illustrated pages, which feature scores of new art pieces, you'll find the archived secrets of Haas-Bioroid, Jinteki, NBN, and the Weyland Consortium. You'll learn how their inventions have shaped the course of human history, both for better and for worse. You'll receive a guided tour of Heinlein and Bradbury. You'll find the Android setting's astonishing diversity reflected by a panoply of voices and media, including fiction, stunning gatefolds, and technical diagrams.
