 ===== Media and Information Culture =====
-With the decommissioning of the [[web|Web]] after the Peace Treaty, information returned to paper. Printing and curation are centralized, making media both essential and contested.
+After the crash of the [[last_frontier|Last Frontier]] in the [[beta_age|Beta Age]], the planet-wide Web never existed on [[the_planet_voi_700_d|VOI 700 D]]. Instead, settlers relied on the [[shortwave_radio_network_of_the_exohumans|Shortwave Radio Network]], couriered [[shellac_records|Shellac Records]], and tightly rationed [[gaia_system|GAIA]] updates. By the [[the_gamma_age|Gamma Age]], chronic energy scarcity and central planning shifted public communication even further toward paper: printing and curation were consolidated under federal oversight, making media simultaneously indispensable and politically contested.
