About this listen

What if the bug wasn’t patched?

In Delta-23, the year 2000 problem wasn’t fixed in time. Systems failed, banks crashed, power grids went dark, and the digital foundation of modern life cracked at midnight. The result: a cascade of collapses that remade the world.

In this recovered history, The Archivist walks us through a planet shaped not by microchips, but by mistake—where analog machines power nations, solar airships cross barter markets, and governments fell as quietly as they rose. From the unraveling of the United States to the rise of the Eurasian Coalition, from steam-powered San Francisco to grain-backed global economies, this is a world where the twenty-first century began in the dark—and stayed there, lit only by lanterns and resolve.

A sprawling, cinematic dossier of alternate history: dystopian, yes—but never without hope.
