High Industrial Corporations
From Gothpoodle
Just because the world is in the midst of the Fifth Wave doesn’t mean that old-fashioned industry is no longer an issue. Many of the world’s corporations still specialize in resource extraction, refining, manufacturing, and similar tasks. Of course, most businesses apply a variety of new technologies to their work. These “high industrial” firms form the backbone of the global economy.
