Infrastructure - Power Node
"They wrap us up in copper, and fibre, and silicon. They're snaring us with their Net. Drilling into walls like they drill into brains, plugging in nodes like they plug in bio-implants. The city is marred from birth, as we are. We're all forced to be connected, yet we can't get too close. Gotta keep us in these electrical cages."
- 'Meta' Alleged Bay Area Hacker
Power nodes were local data hubs, combining net access with the surveillance systems, as well as electricity and even plumbing, in some cases. The city installed these, and didn't pay much attention to how it was done. People freely tapped into the net access lines, but tampering with the surveillance system was never ignored by the authorities.
A few slices of life from the Cyber City display from Brickworld 2013. Look for it again at BrickFair Virginia in August.
