It is the present day. The dawn of a new century and a new millennia. It is the dawn of a thousand million atomic suns burning in the factories, the cars and the homes of America. This is the present day, but not as we know it. It is the future of yesteryear, a future of gleaming chrome machines, soaring skyscrapers and nuclear utopia.
But, utopia comes with a price, a price which every American man, woman and child must pay. Beneath the chrome veneer lies a darker reality. The government is an entity utterly bloated with corruption, dancing to the tune of another - the unseen masters of the country, the Avarant. The oppressive regime has sealed America off from the outside world, zealously enforcing its paranoid laws whilst blithely broadcasting its messages of propaganda. Few dare to oppose these tyrants, for the Avarant sees all, hears all and knows all, and people vanish unnoticed into the shadows with an alarming regularity.
This is now. This is the new millennium. This is Yesterday's Tomorrow.
Yesterday's Tomorrow is an alternate now, a present day where democracy has been crushed under the heel of an oppressive Government who control American life with an iron grip. It is a world where a person's credit rating determines everything from their job to their family to their very existence. It is a time where the gleaming optimism of the past has lead to the mastery of the atom and the creation of weird and wonderful technologies. It is a setting in which mysteries abound and conspiracies envelop all, a setting in which heroes can rise to make a stand against the terrible forces of the Avarant and free America from their insidious grasp. Adventures can be found around every corner and within every shadow - whether by a grizzled Custodian investigating the corruption from within, a naive young Programmer who catches a glimpse of the real masters of the country or a valiant freedom fighter seeking to bring down the Government from without.
