Whether it's bright colors and geometric shapes, the tendency towards stark plainness, or the the lack of powerful computers and cell phones, Cassette Futurism includes: Cassettes, ROM chips, CRT displays, computers reminiscent of microcomputers like the Commodore 64, freestanding hi-fi systems, small LCD displays, and other analog technologies.

An export version of a Soviet microcomputer from the 2060s, when Coalition and Union relations began to warm after a decade-long standoff. Devices like this filled a niche that allowed Western users to access the Union’s AGREGAT network, locked behind the KONTROL chip.
This system was one of the first steps on a long journey to bridge the Ternary Divide, which eventually allowed the free flow of information between the two primary dataspheres of the world.
