Crossroads is a large consulting firm, based in New York
City, but with branch offices all over the world. It was founded
in the 2020s as an alliance of several smaller consultancies
working in various disciplines. Crossroads targets the “social
problems” market, attempting to resolve social difficulties
brought on by the rapid advance of technology.

Crossroads consultants work alone or in small teams (a
team usually includes at least one attorney, one memetic engineer,
and some number of experts in “hard” technology). The
usual Crossroads client is a government, or a private institution
with at least regional scope. Crossroads consultants are most
often called in to study a local situation and recommend economic
or social policies. Sometimes they are needed to help
mediate a social dispute. While Crossroads tries not to get
involved in situations of imminent violence, its consultants
have sometimes been caught in the thick of a riot or uprising.

The Crossroads corporate culture is strictly egalitarian;
there are few social distinctions between the CEO of the company
and its lowliest data analyst. The salary structure is also
remarkably flat, and there is an extensive training-and-education
budget for all employees. Crossroads is a superb firm to work
for, but it is very selective in recruitment. A potential employee
must speak several languages fluently, demonstrate the ability to
adapt to different cultural norms, and be willing to travel worldwide
on a moment’s notice.

Crossroads has a very good public reputation around the
world, based on a solid record of accomplishment in a wide
variety of cultural contexts. For example, in 2088 the firm gave
the new government of [[Uganda]] a comprehensive set of policy
recommendations, which have since served to firm up the
national economy and resolve long-standing differences
between internal factions. Meanwhile, throughout the 2090s
Crossroads has been deeply involved in [[India]], helping various
local governments deal with ethnic strife and economic difficulties.
These efforts have been successful more often than not,
and have incidentally done much to keep India stable and out of
the [[Nanosocialism|nanosocialist]] camp.
