07. Corporations:
In the dystopian future of Android, four megacorporations control the majority of the world. Weyland Consortium uses brute economic force and dirty tactics to dominate heavy industry, construction, and space technologies. Haas-Bioroid leads the world in cybernetics and high tech research, holding the monopoly on bioroid manufacture and providing everything from cheap labour and pleasure bots to units specialised for network security. What Haas-Bioroid accomplishes digitally, the Jinteki corporation accomplishes biologically - by producing genetically engineered clones and researching the psychic potential of the human genome, Jinteki aims to push human evolution forward, at a profit. Finally, the NBN Network are the undisputed masters of information, supplying the global net's insatiable hunger for news and entertainment.

11. The Runners:
These competing corporate forces are opposed by an online underground of netrunners - digital insurgents who contend with the corporation's Ice (defensive programs) in order to access and steal the valuable information stored in corporate servers. To some the Net is their battlefield against corporate oppression, to others, it's a playground. To others still, running is the best way to make a tidy - if illegal - profit. These three approaches have led to the formation of three loose factions of Runner allegiance. The Anarchs seek to liberate the net by unleashing devastating viruses to disrupt the mechanisms of corporate control. The Shapers contend with the corporations as a test of skill and ingenuity, developing ever-more sophisticated modes of cyber-intrusion for the sheer joy of invention. The Criminals use a combination of physical and digital infiltration to access valuable data and sell it on at a massive profit - where once the gentleman thief or the femme fatale might have sought priceless gems or artifacts, the real prize in the Android universe is information
