A class of oligarchs gain power after an AI catastrophe in order to maximize the extractive value of Earth with a view towards their eventual transcendence until the next collapse. Tools advance in specialized areas while knowledge of whole systems degrades. Protected private bunkers are constructed underground and on the moon for the ultra-elite while the masses are left to hope technology will provide stability.

Technician's Manual for Civilizational Resilience
Earth
Circa 3000
Hemp-mycelium paper (12cm × 12 cm), chitin, plant, mineral derived inks
The Technician's Manual appears to contain technical schematics for components of a vertical garden.
Under polarized light, the hemp-mycelium paper reveals a hidden layer containing a message written in Old Roman cursive, inspired by a popular story and symbol shared among the working class. The page's iconography subtly foreshadows the concealed inscription.
