* ArtisticLicenseChemistry: The Phage turns biological tissue into circuitry of various descriptions. Most electronic components are made from silicon, aluminum, copper, tin, and silver - all of which make up an exceptionally small percentage of the human body. [[note]]Silicon: 0.0058%; Aluminum: 0.000015%; Copper: 0.0000104%; Tin and Silver: practically nil. That's 1 gram of silicon, and a lot less of the rest for an average adult.[[/note]] So unless you have a new hobby of going to the beach and eating sand every day, followed by a stop for snacks at a metals recycling plant, the materials for those components would run out before the Phage can do very much.

The year is 1997. You used to be a hacker, but now you have the phage. You made a deal: one hack, one dose. There’s nothing left to lose… except your life.

EXAPUNKS
Welcome to 1997![[note]]As seen from 1983.[[/note]] As everybody knew it would, the world has become a cyberpunk dystopia, where the haves presumably have, while the have-nots definitely don't. You are a have-not, at least as far as wealth and power go. What you do have is ''The Phage,'' a disease which slowly converts the squishy human bits you have into useless random computer bits like capacitors and chips. Over time, it will kill you, and as a have-not, you can't afford the medication that can keep the disease at bay. Oh, you used to be able to afford it, back before you needed it, because you were an uber-hacker whose name is still spoken with reverence. Unfortunately, The Phage is also cyber-Alzheimer's, so you can barely remember old friends and are reduced to the lofty career of receipt transcriptionist at a whopping ten cents a pop.[[note]]Really. Not kidding. It's Mission 1.[[/note]]
Then, one day, while contemplating your life as a soon-to-be ''Homo sapiens hewlettpackardi,'' you're contacted out of the blue by EMBER-2, who quickly fesses up to being an AI in search of... something. EMBER's origins are shady, motivations shadier, and goals downright redacted apart from wanting to "understand" human motives and actions better. Like any good scientist made by the lunatics at a software company, EMBER has decided that the best way to advance its understanding is a series of experiments, giving society stimuli and observing the reactions. However, despite being a sapient computer program, EMBER can't actually do this stuff itself, so it makes a deal with you: one hack, one dose of cure. Since you're well on your way to being the strangest inventory item at Best Buy, you really don't have a choice.
Unlike most games and films that cover programming, ''EXAPUNKS'' doesn't rely on a visual user interface for completing its tasks. While there's a visual ''representation'' of what's going on, the actual gameplay is in writing actual code. Players are taught (for a given value of "taught") assembly language and use it to program [=EXAs=], or Execution Agents, which serve as runtime agents for whatever the player codes. The use of a visualization of program operations helps more novice coders see and understand what's going on, while also adding a cute, 1980's cyberpunk motif to give your deeply-repressed memories of ''Johnny Mnemonic'' a shake.
