So here is another question, this story is supposed to take place in the far far future, but when you are brought back to life outside the wall you look around and see a bunch of rusted out cars that look more like modern cars than anything futuristic, so was the wall built next to a junk yard? I mean the way the are oriented seems to say that people were hightailing it to the wall.

That area in particular looks that way because every human in that area was trying to leave earth during the collapse. They never made it. One of the colony ships in the Cosmodrome still has everything on it, ready to go. It's just a big tomb now.

It's like with american precolumbian civilisations: they were advanced, had advanced mathematics, architecture, society organisation. And they still used flint stones and went everywhere on foot. Technological growth don't happen in every area of life.

Yup, pretty much.

I know right? I remember reading somewhere that they went for a futuristic retro look. I guess that's it.

My bet is the designers just didn't want to put too much time in it, kinda like the coders who made the net code.
