It's kind of like the opposite of Blade Runner. There are people in that world who are old enough to remember what it was like before the computer virus wiped out the internet and they had to go back to hardwired mainframes instead of everything being in the cloud.
The apocalypse happened and we popped out into a dystopia, just in the other way around, and we're all living in it. Except you were born after the before-times when people didn't have cameras on their phones and social media.
