An early Blaxxun project, Cybertown is a virtual world with a futuristic sci-fi theme greatly influenced by the cyberpunk genre of literature and film. According to the Cybertown company web site, there are over half a million cyber-citizens in the world who are encouraged to build homes, hold in-world jobs, and participate in Cybertown's elaborate political system. When that gets to be too much, they can let off some steam by going clubbing or visiting in-world concerts and movie theaters.
