    It’s been done in a few places. Fallout and Starwars have been mentioned, but there is also the Maniac series. And while not as hopeful as your example, Blade Runner and Dune also stagnated in terms on communication with no internet.

      The Internet was nice in the begining... But like everything ...I guess it's capitalism and marketing that destroy it.

      It used to be an alternative reality of freedom now it's like a cancer just as much as it is good.

      I liked life before in the era of flip phones.

      We are all being watched used and manipulated almost constantly now. And I don't think the trade off is worth it anymore.

      While it's more obvious now, but we've been manipulated since the dawn of time.

        It's essentially the reason religion started.

          I heard a discussion of the concept of an RPG setting where the world never made the jump to digital. The idea was to explore that alternative now based on a changed history. It included the idea of aliens that we'd only meet by having developed new technologies in the analog space, sapient, benevolent AI that only exist because of some different interpretation of intelligence in an analog space, etc.
