“I believe that this wonderful metropolis is the jewel of civilization, a beacon of light in the midst of our postwar era. We have come so far from the darkest days of eternal winter, raising up the very Tower of Babel from the unforgiving earth. The sunlight that we cast beneath the Dome may be artificial, but the aspirations we have built this city on are genuine. [...] I am here to serve you, the people of this city, to ensure that we will live up to the great cosmopolitan vision of Babylon - one people, one mind, and one heart.”
- Melinda Wai, mayor of New Babylon | acceptance speech

“It'd be sugarcoating to call it a city. It's more like a damn cesspool, where it's totally okay to piss on both the living and the dead. This little piece of a personal hell rises up from the toxic earth like a giant cock, which it basically is. And if you have the misfortune of being born into the wrong level to the wrong people, chances are great that it’ll fuck you over. Life? Liberty? Dignity? What the hell are those? Pipe dreams for all the sorry bastards that scurry everyday for a mouthful of porridge and a patch of cloth to shield against the bitter cold. Turn your ear to the upper levels. Can you hear it? The deafening sound of indifference.”
- Puck, a street reporter

“The subject remains stable, and will be placed under observation for 3 days before we conduct further testing. Reanimation techniques like this in humans are still in the experimental stages, but we believe Subject 0225 will be a breakthrough for regenerative medicine and memory implant mechanisms. [...]”
- Katia Romescu, chemical engineer, Alden Pharmaceuticals | internal report

“You build too high and someone’s bound to notice. You tinker around enough with the intricacies of the human body and you mess with things beyond your comprehension. Artificial hearts. Software downloadable straight to your brain. Neural jacks keeping you plugged in to the network 24/7. Technology is invading your space, your mind, and your body. Do you remember giving it permission?”
- Anonymous, an activist | Evergreen online flyer

New Babylon is a panfandom cyberpunk roleplaying game with multiversal elements inspired in part by Roger Zelazny's The Chronicles of Amber. The action centers in and around the dystopian arcology New Babylon, one of the last remaining bastions of civilized humanity left in a wasteland blanketed by nuclear winter. The game is heavily plot-oriented, with a collaborative storytelling focus and evolving gameplay.
