Space travel didn't get rid of the dark alleyways, and sentient robots didn't bring about the apocalypse. But, war still happens, and gangsters never change, even if they're robots or some ungodly experiment... Things aren't so bad, but things aren't great, either, which is why heroes of grit are still needed: be they a robot shamus; a mysterious vigilante; a cursed soul; or hard men, looking for action. It's not an extravagant job, confronting crime in space or on the streets, but trouble is the business of heroes, and business keeps on booming. Not meaning to throw a cliche out there, but the possibilities are practically endless when it comes to these tales of future grit and hard-boiled action.
