I'm currently working on the plot of my latest Fading Suns campaign and I thought I'd try something other than blaming the church for everything and instead create a souless secular technological society that's horribly corrupt.
Specifically the PCs find a lost world that is an enclave of the socialist beaucratic corperate technophile Second Republic and find out that it's not so great afterwards.
My problem is comming up with reasons why it wouldn't be great.
So far I have:
State suppression of religion (the rest of the universe went through a religious revolution they brutally suppressed).
Souless consumerism.
Evil mega-corps.
Demon possessed machines secretly running the planet via the internet.
Any ideas?
